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
