Mr. Rothenberg is Senior Computer Scientist at the RAND Corporation. He is an internationally
renowned consultant in the area of digital preservation techniques. He will speak about the
short life spans of computer software, hardware, and digital formats, which threaten long-term
storage of vital business and institutional data. These conditions raise important implications
for digital libraries and for the preservation of vital government and institutional documents.
He will propose solutions to these problems. A bibliography of Rothenberg's published work may be found at: http://slisgroups.sjsu.edu/alasc/lectures/rothbibl.html |
