[Web4lib] NISO Webinar on January 14: Digital Preservation: Current Efforts

[Cynthia Hodgson]

NISO's 2009 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.

Speakers and topics are:

Introduction by Mary Alice Baish, Director, Government Relations Office, 
American Association of Law Libraries (AALL).

Digital Preservation: The Stanford Digital Repository by Keith Johnson, 
Stanford Digital Repository Preservation Architect

CLOCKSS, A Global Archive: Libraries and Publishers Preserving the Past 
for the Future by Victoria Reich, CLOCKSS Board member and Director, 
LOCKSS Program, Stanford University Libraries

Going from Zero to Live with an Automated Digital Preservation System: 
Planning, Process and Results Based on the New Zealand Experience by 
Carl Grant, President, Ex Libris North America

A Q&A period will conclude the webinar.
