TC04 - Production & Preservation of Digital Audio Objects

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 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 (Memnon,Cube-Tec;
NOA, RTE, National Library of Norway and the National
Library of Australia),
it has been able to reduce the cost of the publication
to 15 Euros plus postage.

It will be available from next week from the IASA website.
