The Visual Resources Association announces the publication of VRA Special Bulletin #14, Strategies for Transitioning to the Age of Digital Media by Sarah E. Cheverton and Christina B. Updike. If you are among those searching for answers from experienced colleagues who have successfully managed the transition to digital technology, then you will be pleased to learn that the next publication in the VRA Special Bulletin series of occasional papers addresses this need. This “must-have” volume is essential for any visual resources collection contemplating or on the verge of converting from analog to digital. Drawing upon their experience at James Madison University, authors Sarah Cheverton and Christina Updike relate their lessons learned as well as keys to continued success.

This Special Bulletin identifies strategic actions that will facilitate the change from analog to digital media for all key players. It is the result of a workshop developed by Cheverton and Updike for presentation at the VRA Annual Meeting 2004 and subsequently presented at the VRA Summer Educational Institute. The emphasis is on identifying positive actions, encouraging collaboration, and helping faculty cope with the transition to digital media. It includes digital media surveys for professionals and instructional faculty, summaries and action plan worksheets. A CD containing blank surveys and worksheets for use by the home institution is included with the Special Bulletin.

85 pages, 4 tables, illus., print bibliography and internet resources, companion CD. Spiral-bound. $35.00.
