DIGITAL PRESERVATION TOPIC OF JANUARY WEBINAR

The webinar series will kick-off on January 14 (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Eastern
Time) with "Digital Preservation: Current Efforts". Preservation of
digital content is an ongoing and iterative process. The actions we take
now could have profound implications for the availability of digital
content for future generations. This webinar will show three projects --
an international, a national, and a local preservation initiative --
that will highlight for attendees some of the opportunities and
challenges particular to digital content preservation. Confirmed
speakers include Mary Alice Baish, Director, Government Relations
Office, American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) and Keith Johnson,
Stanford Digital Repository Preservation Architect.
