In this webinar, OCLC Research Scientist Brian Lavoie will talk about the economic challenges of long-term digital preservation, based on the work of the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Digital Preservation and Access, which he co-chaired.

Brian will also discuss the findings and recommendations from the Task Force's recently published final report, Sustainable Economics for a Digital Planet (.pdf: 4MB/116 pp.), and provide a recap of the discussions that took place at the recent symposium, "A National Conversation on the Economic Sustainability of Digital Information" held in Washington, DC, and a parallel symposium held in London.
