> Dear Members,
> As many of you who have subscribed to this list for years
> have no doubt
> noted - the list has gotten VERY quiet. I do not think that this is
> because there are any less issues to discuss, but perhaps it
> is time for
> a different type of forum. Toward that end - Media Matters has
> introduced the first Blog in our field. We feel that it is
> time to try
> something new - and see if a Blog can perhaps serve the needs of this
> community in a way that has not been tried before. I will
> maintain this
> list for a period of time to be determined - and if members feel that
> the list should remain in place - will continue it indefinately. If
> however the traffic remains low and people feel that the Blog format
> offers new potential, then I will eventually shut down this list in
> favor of the Blog. It may be that both of them can actually serve
> different needs and together a new type of discussion can occur and a
> different type of forum may evolve. So I have no foregone
> conclusions -
> lets see what happens.
>
> This is the "official" notice of the Blog - I look forward to hearing
> your comments on it. There are over 900 subscribers to this list - I
> hope to hear what people think about what we have done.

> This week Media Matters launched DAVA, the Digital
> Audiovisual Archiving
> blog. Updated weekly, this blog will feature news and
> announcements on
> topics related to the digital transformation and preservation of
> audiovisual materials. The blog will also list upcoming conferences
> and workshops pertinent to archives and digital libraries, as well as
> links to metadata resource sites and other digital archiving
> resources.
> The blog will be maintained by Media Matters, and is intended to help
> librarians, archivists, technologists, and anyone else who
> needs to stay
> on top of information relating to the intersection of digital
> media and
> audiovisual archives. With technology changing so rapidly, and the
> general shift to migrating analog media assets to digital files, this
> blog is a timely and useful resource for anyone involved with media
> collection management.
