All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: This webinar introduces considerations for the long-term
storage of digital content selected for preservation. This content must

preservation of multiple copies, the locations of those copies, the
characteristics of those locations, and the means for meeting long-term
storage requirements.

Dark Ages to a Digital Renaissance." Part 1, The Art of Selecting
Digital Content to Preserve, was October 10, 2012.
Learning Outcomes: This session covers key terms, standards, and
concepts related to digital preservation and equips participants with
planning strategies for developing a digital preservation plan/program.

librarians with beginning knowledge of digital preservation and an
interest in or responsibility for the
