Many Cultural Heritage Institutions are starting to digitize parts of
their collections. They have often very few staff available for these
'new' activities. Often without any training or preparation they start
scanning objects. Very little attention is payed to standards,
interoperability, workflow efficiency, cooperation with other institutes
or even the quality of the product in terms of scholarly content, image
quality, usability etc. This paper explanes why training is necessary
before huge investments in time and money are made and end-products
appear to be disappointing.
