Stewardship in the Digital Age (Continued)
Clifford Lynch
In this talk, I hope to conclude the survey of the scope of the challenge for stewardship in the digital age. We’ll first examine the question of “abandoned” materials (introduced in my last talk) in the cultural record (both physical and digital) as a cross-cutting issue. I’ll then conclude with some overall comments about stewardship in an age of abundance and issues related to acquisition/appraisal/collection development and de-acquisition policies and processes.
Future talks (to be announced) on Stewardship in the Digital Age will move beyond the scope of the challenge to consider legal and policy issues, institutional and individual (including collector) roles, and transitions of stewardship responsibilities, among other topics.
This seminar will be held both online & in person. You are welcome to join us either in South Hall or via Zoom.
