Digital Preservation – the Planets way
The Royal Library, Copenhagen, Denmark,
22-24 June 2009.
************************************************************
This event will consider the challenges of digital preservation
and how the tools and services developed by the Planets project
can assist national institutions with digital preservation.
Registration is now open, and a full event programme and
registration form is available on the Planets web site at:
http://www.planets-project.eu/events/copenhagen-2009/.
Day 1 of the event explores the challenges of digital preservation
and introduces the Planets tools and services. On Days 2 and 3
delegates will gain hands-on experience of working with Planets
and a scenario (sample collection) to develop a preservation plan
and preserve digital objects. The event will include plenty of
opportunity for discussion, sharing ideas and best practice and
to ask questions.
The event is aimed at CEOs, Heads of IT, Curation and Preservation,
IT staff, digital librarians and archivists, curators, policy
managers and other staff preparing to or involved in preserving
digital content.
You can register for either Day 1 only at a cost of 80 EUR,
or for all three days at a cost of 175 EUR.
Given the highly interactive nature of the event, there is
an upper capacity of 60 delegates on Day 1 and 40 delegates
on Days 2 and 3. Final closing date for all registrations is
11 June 2009.
This event is the first in a series of Planets outreach and
training events to be hosted at venues across Europe between
June 2009 and May 2010.
