Abstract
This paper proposes a new area of professional practice based on preservation, required in the LIS profession because of changes in the ways that libraries operate and of changes in education for librarianship, as exemplified by the iSchools paradigm. It notes the significant similarities between analog preservation and digital preservation, and proposes these as the basis for new curriculum for a curatorial stream.
