Watch your step

Jill Hurst-Wahl mentioned this seminar about newspaper digitization on her blog. I might try to sign up, because I think it would tie in with the Illinois Newspaper Project work. Even though the INP is microfilming, not digitizing, I bet a lot of the initial work that has to be done is the same.
