Archiving made easier

摘要

When Pope John Paul II died in April, editors at The Dallas Morning News quickly pulled together a photo retrospective of the pontiff's life — a project they would have considered impractical not long ago. The problem of old was the time and effort it took to get images from the tape archives — a task only IT could do. But last summer, Bob Mason, director of publishing systems, moved the paper's filmstrips and digital pictures to a new disk-based archival system . that gives editors speedy access to stored data.
