program, knowledge is power. That is why BCR and LYRASIS have

Using CRL/OCLC Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification:
Criteria and Checklist (TRAC) as the foundation, the workshop will
provide you with the information and tools you need to plan, assess,
and outline a digital preservation plan for sustaining
collaboratively generated digital content.  Workshop attendees will
explore implemented solutions including ExLibris' Rosetta, OCLC's
Digital Archive, Tessella's Safety Deposit Box, Chronopolis from
University of California San Diego, Educopia Institute's
