digitizationblog News on digitization in libraries and allied institutions

...into Walt Crawford's "Investigating the Biblioblogosphere" (Cites & Insights 5:10, 2-13). Too bad. Worth reading, though, if you want a broad survey of the variety of library blogs out there.

I've just found DAVA (Digital Audiovisual Archiving Blog), although it's been around since March 2005. It's operated by a company called Media Matters, "a technical consultancy specializing in archival audio and video material. Media Matters provides advice, analysis, and products to media archives that apply beneficial advances in technology to collection management." Looks like it should be of interest to readers of digitizationblog who deal with temporal media.
