**Digitizing Moving Images: Saving Yesterday’s Videos for Tomorrow** //Emily Abarillo, Graduate Student, Library and Information Science, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, USA, emilyea@hawaii.edu //

Sinclair Library is engaged in a project to digitize and preserve important items from its video collection for future use while making those items more easily accessible to students, faculty, and researchers. An example of a video that has been streamed can be seen in the Sinclair Library Catalog (http://uhmanoa.lib.hawaii.edu:7008/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=94734). Many aspects of this project are relatively new to the field so this presentation focuses on the process that Sinclair Library has followed in order to accomplish these goals. The reformatting project can be divided into two main parts: collection management decisions and technical details of the reformatting process, and both will be covered in the presentation. It is hoped that this presentation will provide information and resources for other institutions that may be interested in a similar project. Structure of presentation:
