The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) is hosting a webinar titled 'Protecting Future Access Now: Models for Preserving Digitized Books and Other Content at Cultural Heritage Organizations.' The webinar will be held on April 27, 2011, at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Over the past decade, the number of digitisation projects initiated by cultural heritage organisations is seen to have risen dramatically. As these organisations take advantage of digital technologies to make their content broadly available, their need to understand the different ways to protect and preserve this digital content becomes increasingly important.
Working together, Portico and Cornell University Library engaged in a study funded by the NEH-IMLS Digital partnership to help the community understand the preservation needs of e-books and other digital objects. The webinar will explore these findings as well as models for digital preservation that are available to cultural heritage organisations.
The webinar, sponsored by ITHAKA, will be presented by Amy J. Kirchhoff, Archive Product Manager, Portico.
