FREE webinar - Diving Deep into Pictures at the Library of Congress

The American Society of Picture Professionals has launched a new educational Webinar series. So far it’s FREE. The first webinar was very interesting. David Riecks encouraged photographers to recognize the importance of metadata—the specific software choices as well as the principles to aim for with keywords and more. He gave a good look into what will coming into our archives! Still online at, http://blog.photoshelter.com/2014/01/video-top-techniques-archiving-metadata-aspp-david-riecks/ Next week, I’m aiming to cover not only the Library of Congress holdings but also encourage the use of collections in all archives and libraries. The audience is a mixture of picture researchers and photographers. Please listen in, if you have time, http://aspp.com/aspp-webinar-040814-diving-deep-pictures-library-congress/
