ASERL is pleased to again host a series of webinars to aid member
librarians, staff, and others in learning the basic tenets of digital
preservation. The first series, offered in Spring 2012, continues to
attract repeated viewers via ASERL's Vimeo channel (see
http://bit.ly/VVCRjh ). For 2013, we've re-focused the content based on
user feedback and re-structured the series into four 60-minute webinars.
All sessions are free and open to anyone interested in learning more about
this important topic. Further updates can be found at

Intro to Digital Preservation #1: "Preservation Planning and Overview of
PREMIS for Beginners"
Speaker: Lisa Gregory, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources.
This webinar is designed to help participants begin formulating a digital
preservation plan for their digital collections. Even if you already have
files accumulating, planning and implementing basic digital preservation
strategies doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Topics to be covered include
what to consider during planning, first steps for implementation, as well
as a basic introduction to PREMIS, the Data Dictionary for Preservation
Metadata. The goal will be to help you start thinking about preservation
as part of your everyday digital workflow.
