Description:  

In this time of ever increasing dependence on technology, we tend to ignore
its short lifespan. As hardware ages, new programs will not run, and as new
software is developed, the old is left behind. Have you tried reading a 5 ¼
inch floppy lately? Learn about the practical and preservation issues and
problems of technological obsolescence and advancements. Learn how to design
a digitization project with long term storage and preservation built in.
Many institutions and organizations are working toward a solution to
long-term digital storage and preservation. Learn from their examples.
