    184a Digital Access and Preservation: ERPANET at IFLA

    This session will explore two key areas of great importance to the library sector: the continuation of cultural memory, and the relationship between digital preservation and scholarship. It offers participants in the IFLA conference the chance to gain exposure to the issues related to the preservation and access to digital resources. Facilitated by ERPANET (www.erpanet.org), the event will engage with the Library community exploring fundamental issues that are pivotal to the successful long-term preservation and access to electronic records. The event is of primary importance in raising awareness and promoting collaborative action by ERPANET which is supported by the Information Society Technologies programme.

    Speakers will include a historian, a library professional, and a cultural luminary. The event will disseminate special conference materials to all IFLA Participants. ERPANET will also hold a Library Community Forum to develop and foster the work of ERPANET in the area of digital preservation for Libraries.
