ALCTS webinar: Preserving Your Personal Digital Memories
Date: Thursday, April 28, 2011
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern Time
Description: Digital photos, electronic documents, and other new media
are fragile and require special care to keep them useable. But
preserving digital information is a new concept that most people have
little experience with. As new technologies appear for creating and
saving our personal digital information, older ones become obsolete,
making it difficult to access older content. Learn about the nature of
the problem and hear about some simple, practical tips and tools to help
you keep your digital memories safe.
Learning Outcomes:
- the nature of the problem
- simple practical solutions
- tools that can be used
Presenter: Bill LeFurgy, Digital Initiatives Manager, has worked for the
National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at
the Library of Congress since June 2002. He leads the NDIIPP
Communications Team, which interacts with a broad range of people
interested in preserving access to digital information. In former lives,
LeFurgy dealt with electronic records at the National Archives and
Records Administration and served as Baltimore City Archivist and
Records Management Officer. While he has memories of punch cards,
monochrome monitors, and 30-pound portable computers, he is also an
enthusiastic creator and consumer of social media. He has a BA degree in
History from McGill University, as well as an MLS and MA in History from
the University of Maryland.
