*April 30th - Digital Preservation for Individuals and Small Groups*
Sponsored by Gaylord.

As technology changes, the greatest threat to preserving digital files 
is obsolescence. Files may get stuck on obsolete media or in some form 
that may become unusable in time. This webinar can help increase your 
understanding of what it takes to preserve commonly used digital files 
such photos, recordings, videos and documents. Learn about the nature of 
the digital-preservation challenge and hear about some simple, practical 
tips and tools to help you preserve your digital stuff.

*May 1st - Disaster Response Q&A*
*
*
Once a disaster strikes, the knee-jerk reaction is to rush in and save 
everything, but racing in without advance planning puts collections at 
risk of more damage and staff at risk of injury. This session will 
feature a live question-and-answer session. Participants will have an 
opportunity to comment on the recording of the 2010 webinar, "Disaster 
Response <http://alcts.ala.org/ce/0609_10_disaster_response.wmv>" and to 
ask questions of Nancy Kraft.
