The event took place on September 15, 2009.
Grounded in the recently released report by Lars Meyer, “Safeguarding Collections at the Dawn of the 21st Century: Describing Roles & Measuring Contemporary Preservation Activities in ARL Libraries,” the webcast offered a brief overview of Meyer’s key findings about how research libraries are working to ensure ongoing access to collections in all formats.
In addition, the webcast showcased comments from two reactors to the report: James Neal, Vice President for Information Services and University Librarian, Columbia University Libraries, offered his perspectives on community level preservation challenges; and Deborah Jakubs, Rita DiGiallonardo Holloway University Librarian and Vice Provost for Library Affairs, Duke University Libraries, discussed aligning preservation activities with institutional and inter-institutional concerns. Participants had the opportunity to ask the panelists questions at the end of the session.
