Hello fellow NDSA members! The Five College Digital Preservation Task Force is hosting a regional NDSA meeting on October 30th. It will most likely be held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. We are still working out the details, but we envision a day-long event with presentations in the morning and CAMP-like discussions in the afternoon - discussion themes generated by participants. The presentations will include an opening from a representative about the NDSA and its activities and then presentations from regional NDSA members on their NDSA work and relevant institutional work. It will be a chance to share what we are all working on. Presentations from NDSA regional members could either be 15-20 minute presentations, a 5 minute lightening talk, or a poster presentation that might generate further discussion for the afternoon. If you are interested in attending, whether or not you'd like to present, please let us know at this site: RSVP <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11ou7PAcG9zXnnPNz19_iGyEPBf5UdFLjMBPUTgKKMPo/viewform?usp=send_form> Jennifer Gunter King and I are coordinating the event so if you have any questions you can email one of us. - Meghan and Jennifer ****************************************** Meghan Banach Bergin Coordinator, Bibliographic Access and Metadata Unit Information Resources Management Department/W.E.B.
