The Future of Collections: Creating and Managing Digital Content


This one-day meeting, hosted by the University of Florida, in conjunction with LYRASIS and OCLC, will focus on the future of library and cultural heritage collections. We will discuss and evaluate important decisions that impact the sustainability and value of collections—what content to preserve digitally, which tools are best for this task, which partners to engage with collaboratively, and how best to promote collections in new formats.

The sessions for this meeting have been chosen to share insights from digitization, preservation and content experts related to making and implementing these decisions.
