**********DIGITAL PRESERVATION: ENSURING ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC
RESOURCES***********

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003 at the Library of Virginia, Richmond, VA from
9:00am - 4:00pm.

Long-term access to digital information has become an issue of increasing
concern to institutions, information professionals, and the preservation
community. Organizations are rising to the challenge through collaboration
and research in order to find best practices and define standards that can
be followed. Best practices are emerging and information professionals now
have some models to follow. 

This one-day session is designed to introduce the concepts and challenges of
preserving digital information. Topics covered include: The concept of
preservation in a digital world, management of digital collections (born
digital and converted collections), licensing, selection criteria, metadata,
preservation best practices, and discussion of various research efforts. 

Cost for $155 SOLINET members, all membership categories, ($145 early bird,
$180 late registration); $195 Non-SOLINET members ($185 early bird, $220
late registration). Any institution within Virginia qualifies for the member
