LISTSERV 16.5 - NDSA-CONTENT Archives

All,

For convenience, the 2015 plan has been cut and pasted from the NDSA wiki into the message below.

Broadly, a core goal for the year is to explore issues and content-specific challenges outlined in the 2015 National Agenda for Digital Stewardship with a focus on the creators of digital content.

Let us know what you think. What topics are we missing? What other perspectives should we seek? If you can’t join the call this morning please share your thoughts by email or add them directly to the NDSA wiki. Our first set of speakers will present at next month’s meeting on April 1.
