documents and records. This would include city and county clerks and
archivists, records managers, and historians. This workshop is NOT restricted
to nor even aimed at library staff but is intended for a broader audience
involved in and concerned about long-term preservation of records and
historical data. We need your assistance in spreading the word beyond the
library audience. Thanks!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

You've digitized some materials from your collection are serving them online.
But what steps have you taken to ensure that the digital files can be
migrated successfully to the next generation of hardware and software?
Will your digital records be retrievable and readable by your next system?<br>
<br>
This workshop is designed to introduce records managers, archivists,
and librarians to the issues of ensuring future access to digital assets,
and that future could be as soon as 5-10 years from now, when current
systems will be obsolete and your digital assets at risk of irretrievable
loss.<br>
<br>
The challenge to all managers of digital information is one of
due diligence: backing up is not enough. Preserving digital assets
requires articulating long-term needs, creating documentation, and
developing a "business" plan to manage digital assets into the
future. More than technical specs for hardware and software, preserving
digital assets is about helping your organization prepare for an ongoing
management challenge.<br>
<br>
Find out what you can do now to help your organization preserve
its digital assets!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
