Subject: [digipres] Register Now! Digital Preservation Management
Symposium, Nov. 7 & 8<br><br>
</font><font face="Courier New, Courier" size=2>The Midwest Archives
Conference is hosting a Symposium on Digital Preservation Management in
beautiful, historic Lawrence, Kansas (home of the University of Kansas)
on Nov. 7 and 8th.<br><br>
This one and a half day symposium will be lead by Nancy Y. McGovern, the
digital preservation officer for the University of Michigan’s
Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).
She is also co-developer of Cornell’s highly respected *Digital
Preservation Management workshop series*. This workshop is predicated on
the need for institutions to combine organizational and technological
perspectives to devise an appropriate response to the challenges that
digital preservation requirements present. The workshop schedule centers
around three action plan sessions for policy, technology and resource
frameworks. They were developed to assist you in designing and
implementing an approach that will work for your institution. Each action
plan references exemplars from real programs and potential building
blocks for your frameworks.<br><br>
Symposium attendees are eligible to earn seven archival recertification
credits from the Academy of Certified Archivists. Registration rate
includes supplemental handouts and access to an online tutorial to be
completed by participants in advance of the event.<br><br>
