This course is for managers who have been assigned to manage a
document imaging system or digital library, and must start
immediately. Students will gain an understanding of how document
imaging can be used and managed in both small and large-scale
organizations. Document imaging is the process of taking documents
out of file cabinets, and off shelves, and storing them in a
computer. This course provides an understanding of the details that
there is often no time to review in the rush to implement a system.
The course content is intended to be useful to students in their
professional work for twenty years into the future and is also
intended to be useful for planning to preserve digital documents
forever. Students will learn about the technology of scanning,
importing, transmitting, organizing, indexing, storing, protecting,
locating, retrieving, viewing, printing, and preserving documents for
document imaging systems and digital libraries. Image and document
formats, metadata, multimedia, rich text, PDF (Portable Document
Format), GIS (Geographic Information Systems), CAD (Computer Aided
Design), virtual reality indices, image enabled databases, and
knowledge management will be discussed. System design issues in
hardware, software, ergonomics, and workflow will be covered.
Emerging technologies such as the DVD Digital Video Disk and very
high speed Internet, intranet, and extranet links and protocols will
be discussed. The course will include the DVD’s role in completing
the merging of the PC and television, the merging of telephony,
cable, and the Internet, the merging of home and office, the merging
of business and entertainment, and the management of the resulting
document types. Many professionals including records managers,
librarians, and archivists work with document management issues every
day. While not limited to these professionals, this course builds on
the broad range of tools and techniques that exist in these
professions. The class content is designed so that students can
benefit from each part of the class without fully understanding every
technical detail presented. This course is designed for non-
technical professionals. Several system designs will be done based
on system requirements provided by the students. System designs are
done to provide an understanding of the design process, not to
provide guaranteed solutions to specific problems. There is no hands-
on use of scanning equipment. The course will improve the ability of
non-technical managers to participate in, and to direct, technical
discussions. The UCLA Extension Catalog is at:
