*ALCTS webinar: Protecting Future Access Now: Models for 
Preserving Digitized Books and Other Content at Cultural Heritage 
Organizations*

Date: April 27, 2011

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, 
noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description: Over the past decade, the number of digitization 
projects initiated by cultural heritage organizations has risen 
dramatically. As these organizations take advantage of digital 
technologies to make their unique content broadly available, 
their need to understand the different ways to protect and 
preserve this digital content becomes increasingly important.

* What is "long term" digital preservation?
* What options are there for this particular content
* What steps are other libraries taking to preserve their content?
* What steps are sufficient?

Working together, Portico and Cornell University Library engaged 
in a study funded by the NEH-IMLS Digital partnership to help the 
community understand the preservation needs of electronic books 
and other digital objects. We'll explore these findings as well 
as models for digital preservation that are available to cultural 
heritage organizations.

Audience: Library, archive, and museum staff interested in 
understanding long term digital preservation of locally created 
content.

Presenter: Amy Kirchhoff, Archive Product Manager, Portico
