Fall Depository Library Conference Meeting, 2009

Now, you can read all about the Fall Depository Meeting whether you attend it or not. The full descriptions of the presentations are available here.

One of the most interesting sessions was "Demystifying Digital Depository: What it is and What it could do for the future of the FDLP." The concept of a digital depository system is that each depository library stores its selected digital documents on its local server in order to ensure access and long-term preservation. This practice would provide additional protection against any financial risk that no single system such as GPO FDsys can provide alone.
