Re: Advice sought on preservation/continuing access for e-books

Hello Liz,

I suggest that you check out the following link to the Chicago 
Collaborative: 
http://www.chicago-collaborative.org/pdf/cc-fall-Meeting%20-November-10-exec-sum.pdf. 
We had an excellent session on digital preservation this past 
November and the link will take you to the notes of that meeting.

Best wishes,

Norman Frankel
