The Policy, Planning, and Research Committee is
reviewing the role of the Preservation and Reformatting Section&#8217;s eleven
Discussion Groups. The primary purpose of the DGs is
to support a forum for discussion on various preservation topics.<span
>  

 

We&#8217;d be interested in hearing your thoughts on the effectiveness
of the DGs. 
If you could take a few minutes and fill out and return this brief
survey along with any comments it would be very much appreciated.

 

Should <span
 >PARS<span
> continue to support the following DGs?

For DGs you feel should not be supported,
