[PADG:327] FYI: "Serials Preservation-At a Crossroads"
I'm forwarding this announcement FYI:
Serials Preservation - At a Crossroads
A continuing education course sponsored by the
North American Serials Interest Group
Have you ever wondered whether to throw out your journals in paper and
microfilm because they are becoming digitized at a rapid rate? Are
traditional forms of preservation still relevant? Are digital
archives truly archival? What does the future hold for serials
preservation?
If you have questions about serials preservation consider attending this
continuing education course sponsored by the North American Serials
Interest Group.
The course will begin on Thursday, March 10 at 1:00pm with a tour of the
ProQuest vault in Ann Arbor, MI. This includes a tour of the
facilities used to create and store microfilm, as well as ProQuest's
digital products such as Early English Books Online and ProQuest Digital
Dissertations and Theses. The tour is optional although highly
recommended.
Friday, March 11 the course will continue at the Michigan League in Ann
Arbor, MI. Registration and breakfast will be from 8:30-9:00.
The morning will be devoted to traditional preservation with a panel from
both the vendor and library world followed by discussion and a
demonstration of the ST200, a new microform reader. There will be
presentations and discussion on microforms, print repositories, and the
technical side of preservation.
After lunch, the afternoon will focus on electronic serials preservation.
Both vendors and librarians will present their role in electronic
preservation and their view for the future. Presenters include a
representative from Elsevier, product manager of ProQuest's institutional
repository service Digital Commons, as well as movers and shakers from
the library world.
After a question and answer period, the day will be concluded with small
group discussion, facilitated by the presenters, about the issues
presented throughout the day.
