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