Let Us Save What Remains: Archiving as though the Future Matters, June 7th: 2:00 - 3:15 pm
As more and more publications -- from periodicals to working papers to serials - are being digitized or simply "born digital," discussion is increasingly focused on how to ensure long-term access to these non-print materials. Can beneficial and effective models for archiving be developed that balance the rights of publishers, the responsibilities of librarians, and the needs of scholars and other users? This session will look at some exciting and promising new efforts underway to meet this challenge.
