ALCTS webinar: Preserving Your Personal Digital Memories
Date: Thursday, April 28, 2011
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at: 11am Pacific, noon Mounta
in, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern Time
Description: Digital photos, electronic documents, and other new media are
fragile and require special care to keep them useable.
But preserving digital information is a new concept that most people have l
ittle experience with. As new technologies appear for
creating and saving our personal digital information, older ones become obs
olete, making it difficult to access older content.
Learn about the nature of the problem and hear about some simple, practical
tips and tools to help you keep your digital memories
safe.
Presenter: Bill LeFurgy, Digital Initiatives Manager, has worked for the Na
tional Digital Information Infrastructure and
Preservation Program at the Library of Congress since June 2002. He leads t
he NDIIPP Communications Team, which interacts with a
broad range of people interested in preserving access to digital informatio
n. In former lives, LeFurgy dealt with electronic
records at the National Archives and Records Administration and served as B
altimore City Archivist and Records Management Officer.
While he has memories of punch cards, monochrome monitors, and 30-pound por
table computers, he is also an enthusiastic creator and
consumer of social media. He has a BA degree in History from McGill Univers
ity, as well as an MLS and MA in History from the
University of Maryland.
