University Libraries;

for a discussion of current reformatting options and practices. What 
relationships are emerging among the various reformatting approaches? What 
is the funding picture? Panelists will briefly discuss preservation 
reformatting projects currently underway at their respective institutions. 
Consideration will be given to the impact of recent or proposed projects 
(e.g. color or continuous tone microfilming; deacidification; digitization 
for access; preservation of electronic formats, etc.) on previously 
established preservation programs. As always, time will be allotted for 
audience participation. If you have any questions, please feel free to
