Who will pay the costs of creation, storage and maintenance of multimedia courseware? Are digital signatures for course registrations authentic and sufficient to guarantee tuition payments? Can colleges and universities efficiently provide educational services when their electronic records are haphazardly retained or destroyed? These are a few of the challenges to be addressed in a national conference to be hosted by Arizona State University this fall. On October 5th and 6th professionals with responsibility for creating or maintaining electronic documents will convene ECURE 2000: Preservation and Access for Electronic College and University Records. This interdisciplinary conference will feature experts from across the nation presenting leading edge research and emerging strategies for selecting, retaining and protecting or making accessible electronic records of higher education. Building on the success of the 1999 conference as reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education and office.com, the year 2000 edition will feature a range of presentations addressing the intersections of technology, policy, education and training as interpreted by registrars and admissions professionals, attorneys, faculty, archivists, librarians, technology professionals and university administrators. The two-day conference has limited registration and features small group discussion sessions affording unparalleled post-presentation access to the experts.
