Subject: [digipres] Register Now!  Digital Preservation Management 
Symposium, Nov. 7 & 8

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.

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.

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.
