When David Rosenthal talks, people listen. They may not always agree with the Chief Scientist of the LOCKSS program based at Stanford University, but they engage with what he has to say.
This was the case on July 27, 2009, when a large crowd gathered at the Library of Congress to hear Rosenthal’s presentation How Are We Ensuring the Longevity of Digital Documents? (pdf, 321 Kb). Rosenthal’s talk was a reprise of his widely-discussed plenary at the Spring 2009 Coalition for Networked Information Task Force meeting. In his introduction at the CNI meeting, CNI Executive Director Clifford Lynch told the audience that Rosenthal’s work had changed his thinking about digital preservation.
+ Rosenthal’s presentation at the Library was filmed and will soon be available as a webcast. Update: The video (76 minutes) is now available.
