Registration is now open for each webinar in a series of four presentations on digital preservation issues.

The series will begin on February 4, with a one-hour overview of the cycle of work for preserving digital materials in library collections. It will cover the best practices and options for selecting, storing, and preserving items and is scalable to any institution size.This session will lay the groundwork for additional webinars that go into more depth on the various steps in the process. Each of the 3 subsequent webinars will be two hours and will cover two of the digital preservation modules.
