Dear Colleagues --
I am happy to announce that issue 49 of the IASA Journal has been published
online for the first time on the new IASA Journal web platform:
http://journal.iasa-web.org/
For the first time, the IASA Journal presents its content as open-access
scholarship available to all. We hope this is a step forward in growing the
reach of IASA and sharing broadly the valuable knowledge of IASA's
community.
Issue 49 contains 80 pages, and currently includes 3 articles, 2 profiles,
1 announcement, 1 obituary, 1 editorial, and 1 president's letter. The
print version includes five advertisements: NOA, Memnon, AVP, SAA, and JTS.
In this issue, five articles address an equally diverse slate of topics
that are all of importance to global audiovisual archives communities. Reto
Kromer gives us a first-person account of the opportunities and pitfalls
that data migrations provide, recognizing the difficulty of the process
while recommending opportune improvements. Edward A. Benoit looks closely
at the opportunities of user-generated description for time-based media
content. Literally joining forces, Brecht Declercq and Irfan Zuberi discuss
their respective successes in Belgium and India to develop mature and
successful audiovisual digitization, digital preservation, and access
programs. Notably, Zuberi gives an overview of the first organization ever
to receive an ISO 16363 certification as a trustworthy digital repository.
Elizabeth Surles looks closely at the use of Describing Archives: A Content
Standard and its applicability within sound and audiovisual collections.
Surles' research engages longstanding discussions around the best practices
of cataloging and describing complex content found in time-based media
collections. Finally, Sami Meddeb and Louis Fortin team up for a brief
musing on the importance of harnessing the power of the Internet to improve
access to soundtracks.
We hope you enjoy this issue of the IASA Journal, and, as always, we
welcome feedback and input towards the continued improvement and
development of the IASA Journal.
With all best regards --
Bertram Lyons, IASA Editor
