Re: Digital Reality II: Preserving Our Electronic Heritage: Conference



Looks like a great meeting.

Announcing:

Digital Reality II: Preserving Our Electronic Heritage

A conference cosponsored by the NELINET Preservation Advisory
Committee, the John F. Kennedy Library, and the Northeast Document
Conservation Center.

Location: John F. Kennedy Library, Boston, Massachusetts
Date: Monday, June 5, 2000

How can libraries, archives, and organizations cope with the ever-increasing
amount of digital material? Will future generations be able to read our CD
ROMs and computer files? Come hear what the experts pose as the barriers
and solutions to our digital problems.

Speakers:

Tim Berners-Lee, MIT, the inventor of the World Wide Web,

Jeff Rothenberg, Rand Corporation, promoter of emulation as a digital
preservation strategy,

management, and development,

In 1998 NELINET sponsored the first Digital Reality Conference attended
by over 400 people. We heard about the new world of electronic
information, electronic resources in the consortial environment, implications
of digitization for preservation, and designing and planning electronic
resources access. How far have we come? Do we have it all figured out or
are we still looking for answers?

Mark your calendars now. Full program and registration information is
posted on the NELINET web site,
