The
FLICC Preservation and Digitization Working Group Survey Committee has adopted
the mission of assessing the federal library community to determine what
digitization projects are currently being undertaken within federal libraries,
the infrastructure that is being used to support these efforts, and the ongoing
needs of the libraries as they pursue digital initiatives. Ms. Keller
will share the planning and early data collection stages of a multi-year effort
to survey the federal library community about its digitization
efforts.
