IASA TC04 Second Edition available
The Second Edition of the IASA TC04, Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of Digital Audio Objects, has been printed and is about to be launched. There will be an event marking the launch at the British Library's Unlocking Audio 2 Conference in London next week.
Already an accepted authority in the sound archiving field, the second edition is a thoroughly revised and updated publication with substantial new information and chapters.
The second edition now also contains:
• guidance in metadata, thoroughly explained with examples
• an entirely new structure on digital repositories which follows the OAIS guidelines
• an extensive amount of new information
• guidance on small scale storage solutions
• advice on out-sourced approaches.
Due to the Generosity of our sponsors (Gold Sponsors: Memnon, Translation Sponsor, Cube-Tec; Silver Sponsor: NOA ; Bronze Sponsors: RTE, National Library of Norway and the National Library of Australia), we have been able to reduce the cost to 15 Euros plus postage.
It will be available from next week from the IASA website, www.iasa-web.org<http://www.iasa-web.org>, Nuack's Vintage Records www.78rpm.com<http://www.78rpm.com>, and the National Library of Australia's Online Bookshop www.nla.gov.au/pub/shop<http://www.nla.gov.au/pub/shop>.
