<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>We all know
that preservation of repository content is vital -- but we also know that in
practical terms it remains largely unresolved. What should we be doing
right now to embed preservation into the working practice of repositories?
Who should we be talking to? <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Are there
tools and services out there which can support repository managers in their work
today? Are preservation experts and services tuned into the practical
workflow requirements of their repository manager colleagues? If this has
any resonance then this event is for you! <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>The Digital
Preservation Coalition (DPC), the Repositories Support Project (RSP), the
Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and the JISC are organising a joint workshop on
the 12<SUP>th</SUP> December at the Novotel Hotel, Euston, London. The intention
is to bring together key stakeholders, the repository managers and preservation
experts, at a practical focussed event to talk together and share perspectives,
requirements, problems and solutions. It is hoped that the workshop will
lead to collective recommendations for what the next moves for repository
managers and preservation specialists should be to provide practical focussed
support, services and tools. The workshop should in addition further repository
managers’ understanding of how to implement preservation strategies and
processes.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>As well as the
formal presentations there will also be a marketplace when there will be an
opportunity to view posters, and engage with project teams and see
demonstrations of the latest tools. The day will close with a participative
discussion session. <o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Prior to the
event the organisers shall gather concerns and requirements from repository
managers and preservation experts/services and synthesise these into 'Top 5
Concerns', 'Top 5 Wishes' and 'Top 5 Solutions' (for practical implementation).
These will then be collated to form the basis for the panel
discussion.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
