Margaret Hedstrom featured in New York Times story on digital preservation

(Apr 2008)  Associate Professor Margaret Hedstrom is featured in an article on digital preservation in the April 9, 2008 New York Times.

The story, "In Storing 1's and 0's, the Question Is $," discusses the economic incentives and models needed to ensure that critical electronic data is preserved for the long term.

"One of the things that's changing, finally, is people in places like the National Science Foundation are paying enough attention to this problem and understand its scale to start making investments that can make a difference," Hedstrom is quoted as saying.

She herself has had a significant role in making this happen, having chaired an NSF and Library of Congress conference on a national infrastructure for digital preservation → and authoring several major reports on the subject.
