<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Promote Practical and Responsible Stewardship of Digital Assets. </span></em>The goals of the workshop are to foster critical thinking in a technological realm and provide the means
for exercising practical and responsible stewardship of digital assets in an age of technological uncertainty. The workshop sessions are geared towards making a digital preservation program doable for any organization and all of the sessions include as many
relevant examples as we can fit. The workshop focuses on the decision points involved in responding to ongoing technological changes while managing digital content across the life cycle.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Workshop Content</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workshop includes interactive presentations, group discussions, exercises, individual assignments, and a keynote presentation by an international expert in digital preservation. Workshop attendees explore the range of components needed
to develop an effective digital preservation program. Workshop materials include action plans for organizations to complete when participants return to their institutions. Action plans result in organization-specific plans that incorporate technical, financial,
organizational, and policy aspects encompassing the full life cycle of digital objects. The workshop focuses on strategies for organizations to implement now, while research and development goes forward in creating longer-term solutions that can be incorporated
into the program framework.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a prerequisite for the workshop, we ask participants to work through the Digital Preservation Management Tutorial – a free resource for anyone interested in learning the foundations for digital preservation and as a starting point for
advanced discussions. The tutorial is online at: <a href="http://www.workshop.org">
