On June 3 I had the opportunity to do a webcast for the American 
Library Association's Association of College and Research Libraries 
(ACRL), in which I discussed a number of issues related to digital 
preservation, stewardship of the cultural record, and the impact of 
the recent economic problems. The archive of this presentation 
(audio, and slides, such as they are) can be found at:

One additional note. In the webcast, I briefly discuss some of the 
fine work that Professor David Kirsch at the University of Maryland 
has been doing to preserve business records as part of the Library of 
Congress NDIIPP program. A few days after doing the webcast, I had an 
opportunity to read his article in the journal Library Trends, "The 
Record of Business and the Future of Business History: Establishing A 
Public Interest in Private Business Records" (Library Trends, Volume 
57 Number 3, Winter 2009, pp. 352-370, online at 
http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/library_trends/toc/lib.57.3.html but 
access protected; note that the entire issue is on the LC NDIIPP 
program and is likely to be of interest to many CNI-announce 
readers). Kirsch's paper forms an excellent complement to my 
discussion of issues surrounding business records in the webcast, and 
I highly recommend it for anyone interested in this topic.
