What Would We "Ask" of the Tech Community?

  • Make it easy for LAMs to preserve the content produced by your users – enable preservation through your API.
  • Build functionality into popular handheld devices, like smart phones and digital cameras, that supports creation of preservation-ready digital objects
  • Don't push off all the costs of preservation to libraries, archives and museums
  • Make sure you have a broad group of the community at the table when you discuss future IT strategy.

What Do We Have to "Offer" the Tech Community?

  • resources to educate the Tech Community about digital preservation and long term data viability
  • guidelines for entering into digital preservation partnerships with libraries and archives
  • collaborative opportunities to look at how to include digital preservation partnerships into terms & conditions
  • forums for discussion, scholarship, and industry best practices for digital preservation
  • The prestige of collaborating with memory institutions.
