Opis

Library Technology Reports v.50 no.6 A digital media lab is a gathering of equipment with which people create digital content or convert content that is in analog formats. In this report Amanda L. Goodman profiles digital media libraries selected according to the following criteria: they provide equipment to the community for the creation of video, audio, or other digital content; they offer resources to transform analog media (e.g., cassette tapes, records, etc.) to digital formats; and they offer digital literacy programs to help people learn how to create digital content. People are creating content, not just consuming it. From the perspective of library spaces, Goodman advises on equipment, software, training, and policies. She also profiles digital media lab projects in five libraries.
