Co-sponsored by several California libraries consortia, this symposium is designed to help library and special collection staff plan, preserve, and enable access to the various materials in a digital collection. The symposium will take place April 19, 2007, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Library in San Jose.
From the Califa website:
“As Internet users begin to take digital access for granted, archivist, librarians and collection managers must deal with the problem that not all information ‘assets’ have the same characteristics. A photograph and a newspaper have different digitization and access requirements. In addition libraries and archivists must also deal with electronically published materials such as websites and government documents that never see ‘hard copy.’”

- Andrea Vanek – California Newspaper Project
