Members named to Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Digital Preservation and Access
The Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Digital Preservation and Access is co-chaired by Fran Berman, director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center at University of California, San Diego and a pioneer in data cyberinfrastructure; and Brian Lavoie, a research scientist and economist with OCLC, the world’s largest library service and research organization.
“This Task Force is uniquely composed of people with economic and technical expertise,” said Lucy Nowell, Program Director for the Office of Cyberinfrastructure at the National Science Foundation, in announcing the members of the task force. “We believe this rare combination will enable the group to explore dimensions of the sustainability challenge that have never been addressed before, and make the societal and institutional cases for supporting data repositories.”
