The Ponta Delgada Public Library and Regional Archive promotes a workshop titled "Support Transfer: Digitalisation Projects," which will be taught by Luís Corujo.
 
This initiative, which runs from 9:30 AM to 5 PM, is the continuation of a series of similar activities the institution has promoted for the internal training of its teams and the updating of knowledge of professionals in the fields of information, information technology and management.
 
The workshop aims to identify the theoretical and methodological principles for planning, production and management of digitisation projects; recognise the different areas of application of digitisation projects, procedures for maintenance and processing of information, and to present solutions as well as software and hardware mechanisms used in the development of digitisation projects.
 
Understanding audit and certification needs resulting from the technological specificity of digitisation projects, developing skills in using equipment and applications under digitisation projects and raising awareness for the specific needs related to the management, access and preservation of digital images are other goals of this initiative.
