 RLG DigiNews is a bimonthly web-based newsletter intended to:

  *  Focus on issues of particular interest and value to managers of
     digital initiatives with a preservation component or rationale.

  *  Provide filtered guidance and pointers to relevant projects to
     improve our awareness of evolving practices in image conversion
     and digital archiving.

  *  Announce publications (in any form) that will help staff attain
     a deeper understanding of digital issues.
