Abstract
True though it is that preservation information
is still scarce, scattered, primitive, and often inaccurate, the creation of a
comprehensive data base on the topic cannot by itself solve the preservation
problems of the nation's libraries and archives. Information is valuable
only when put to use. Information is a tool, but people do the work.
Though the distinction may appear academic, to focus on developing
informed people, instead of focusing on information, is an important step
in improving our collective ability to respond to urgent preservation
needs.
With that distinction in mind, I will describe several current projects
and programs which aim to develop informed people, and speculate about
some future possibilities.
