[padg] Preservation metadata program at ALA Annual, Sunday, July 12th

[Randy Roeder <randy-roeder@xxxxxxxxx>]

"Good preservation metadata is informed by the real needs of the digital
repository."

Please join the Intellectual Access to Preservation Metadata Interest Group at
the ALA Annual Meeting on Sunday, July 12th, at 10:30 a.m., in the Northwest 1
Room of the Chicago Hilton for its program "Saying What We Do and Doing What We
Say: Preservation Issues (Metadata and Otherwise) in Institutional
Repositories"

Sarah Shreeves, the Coordinator for IDEALS--the Illinois Digital Environment
for Access to Learning and Scholarship--will discuss her real world experience
in trying to meet the preservation needs of an institutional repository. The
challenges facing a repository responsible for the distribution and
preservation of the wide variety of resources and formats contributed by
faculty, students, and staff are formidable. Sarah's reflections will be
embedded in an overview of the current preservation environment for
institutional repositories.

The Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship
(IDEALS) is a set of services and collections supporting scholarly
communication (including the institutional repository) at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Shreeves is active on the MODS/MADS Editorial
Committee for the Library of Congress, the DSpace Global Outreach Committee,
and co-leads the Dublin Core Collections Application Profile Task Force with
Muriel Foulonneau.

Shreeves' presentation will be followed by reports, a business meeting and an
election.
