Dear ARSC Community (particularly those in the Boston area), You are cordially invited to attend an event brought to you by the National Digital Stewardship Residency (NDSR): *“Catching Waves: A Panel Discussion on Sustainable Digital Audio Delivery”* In providing digital access to our prized audio collections, much consideration must go into the selection of delivery systems and platforms to ensure long-term usability. Due to differing institutional contexts, the divergent needs of preservationists to manage and protect their digital assets, and a user base who desires more dynamic functionality, the solution in what constitutes an ideal delivery system is not standardized. What trends are emerging in digital audio platforms that allow for both digital asset management and advancements in annotation and tagging? Are these new systems inherently archival? What challenges remain on the horizon for accessing digital audio? Join us for a discussion of these issues and more! Featured panelists: *Philip Desenne*, Instructional Technologist for Annotation, Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University *Kurt Fendt*, Executive Director of HyperStudio – Digital Humanities Center at MIT *Richard Rodgers*, Head of Digital Library Application Development at MIT Libraries Friday, May 8th, 2015 3-4:30PM Lamont Library, Forum Room 335 Harvard University **Refreshments to be served** *Reserve a free ticket to this event by May 6th, 2015:* http://library.harvard.edu/library-calendar?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D114449615 For questions, contact: Tricia Patterson ([log in to unmask]) or Joey Heinen ( [log in to unmask]) **Note: If you are not in the Boston area or are not able to attend, we will have a live stream of the event through a webex account.
