Registration Open for Digital Preservation: What's Now, What's Next

Web pages. Electronic books. Digital Objects. It is almost impossible
today to talk about libraries without talking about electronic media.
Now that all these digital items are part of cultural institutions, how
do we as professionals make sure that these things are available for the
future?

On August 12, Amigos will offer an online conference: Digital
Preservation: What's Now, What's Next. We are excited to present a group
of speakers who will provide information about what is happening in
digital preservation and provide a glimpse of what the future holds.
Speakers include: 

*         William LeFurgy, Library of Congress 

*         Jacob Nadal, UCLA 

*         George Blood and Cassandra Gallegos, George Blood Audio &
Video

*         Tom Clareson, Lyrasis 

*         Liz Bishoff, The Bishoff Group 

Registration is open for individuals and groups so please plan on
attending this informative conference. Be on the forefront of what is
happening in digital preservation and register today,
