Please join your colleagues in the Lamont Forum Room on Friday, May 15, from noon until 1:30 pm, for a brown-bag lunch entitled:

A Repository in Prose: Being a Story of the DRS – Past, Present, and Future

In 2000, the Harvard University Library's Digital Repository Service (DRS) accepted its first deposit: an image from the Hedda Morrison Photographs of China in HCL's Harvard-Yenching Library. As of April 2009, the DRS holds 11,852,291 files. What will the next-generation system – DRS 2 – and associated preservation services look like in the next few years?

Join Andrea Goethals, digital preservation and repository manager, and Wendy Marcus Gogel, digital projects program librarian, both from HUL's Office for Information Systems. They will discuss the past, present, and future of HUL's Digital Repository Service.

This talk is co-presented by the Professional Development Committee of the Librarians Assembly and the Learning Opportunities Standing Committee. If you have any questions about this program or would like more information please contact Deborah Garson or Marilyn Morgan.
