“Preservation Education Needs for the Next Generation of Information Professionals”

 
   
Friday, March 19, 2004
 
   

Preservation education is a critical need for librarians and archivists, particularly as the scope of their preservation responsibilities continues to widen to include new formats, and as the library and archival community continues its commitment to building digital libraries of historically and culturally significant material. This study will lay the groundwork for a larger project which aims to thoroughly document activities in the field of preservation education during the last decade, and how university and field service programs can best place themselves to provide the needed knowledge and expertise to effectively administer preservation programs in libraries and archives. The presenters will discuss the current models for preservation education and the goals and objectives for this study. This presentation will also discuss the survey methodology used in this research, the preliminary findings, and the future path of this study.
