NISO Webinar, Preservation and Archiving of Digital Media

Libraries have long collected audio and video content in varying formats housing those materials in special archives and collections. However, unlike the static documents that have been digitized for purposes of enabling Web access by users, some collections of audio and video content may not have received the appropriate attention and resources that ensure long-term preservation. This session will look at a variety of such collections and associated archiving initiatives focused on what is an increasingly at-risk set of materials.

This includes an unlimited number of places and full access to a recording of each webinar for anyone who is unable to attend the event itself.
