The Association of Research Libraries has announced that it is offering a free and open webcast, 'New Roles for Research Libraries: Digital Curation for Preservation,' to complement the recently released report in the New Roles for New Times series. The webcast is scheduled for April 7, 2011, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm EDT.
The webcast will feature a reactor panel that will explore and expand on key findings and recommendations in the report. The deadline for registration is April 4, 2011.
Authored by Tyler Walters and Katherine Skinner, 'Digital Curation for Preservation' is the first report in the New Roles for New Times series. It looks at how libraries are developing new roles and services in the arena of digital curation for preservation. The authors consider a 'promising set of new roles that libraries are currently carving out in the digital arena,' describing emerging strategies for libraries and librarians and highlighting collaborative approaches through a series of case studies of key programmes and projects.
