Guest speaker: Nancy Deromedi, Bentley Historical Library
Methods for managing and preserving electronic records are evolving and there is no single simple solution. A variety of projects have identified alternative strategies and practices for specific environments. This session will review of series of case studies and identify common trends and lessons learned. This will include a video presentation and discussion of the Bentley Historical Library's accessioning of the electronic records created by James J. Duderstadt during his UM Presidency.
