CMDS/PARS Disc. Group at ALA

[Barbara Berger <beb1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The CMDS/PARS Discussion Group will meet at the ALA Mid-Winter meeting in
New Orleans.  The group is scheduled for Sunday January 11, 9:30-11 AM, in
the New Orleans Hilton - Prince of Wales Room.

The topic will be:
   Collaborations Between Collection Development and Preservation in the
Digital Age: from Optional to Necessity
     
     What are the new problems (and opportunities?) for collecting and
preserving information in digital formats?
     Are "collecting" and "preserving" the same thing in a digital
environment?
     How do the demands of electronic information affect traditional
preservation concerns?
          ....many more??

Please bring your own concerns, questions, insights and curiosity!
