Stewardship in the Digital Age (Continued)

Seminar | April 7 | 3:10-5 p.m. | 107 South Hall

Speaker:  Clifford Lynch

Sponsor:  Information, School of

In this talk, I hope to conclude the survey of the scope of the challenge for stewardship in the digital age. Weâll first examine the question of âabandonedâ materials (introduced in my last talk) in the cultural record (both physical and digital) as a cross-cutting issue. Iâll then conclude with some overall comments about stewardship in an age of abundance and issues related to acquisition/appraisal/collection development and de-acquisition policies and processes.

Future talks (to be announced) on Stewardship in the Digital Age will move beyond the scope of the challenge to consider legal and policy issues, institutional and individual (including collector) roles, and transitions of stewardship responsibilities, among other topics.

This seminar will be held both online & in person. You are welcome to join us either in South Hall or via Zoom.
