It was put up last week but announcements don't appear to have gone out. It is a very important report; following is some text describing it: "At the end of 1994 the Commission on Preservation and Access (CPA) and RLG created a Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information charged with investigating and recommending means to ensure "continued access indefinitely into the future of records stored in digital electronic form." The 21-member task force, co-chaired with distinction by Donald Waters, Associate University Librarian, Yale University, and John Garrett, Chief Executive Officer of CyberVillages Corporation, recently completed their final report. RLG and CPA are making this widely available online and in print." *********************************************************************** --pg Peter Graham [log in to unmask] Rutgers University Libraries 169 College Ave., New Brunswick, NJ 08903 (908)445-5908; fax (908)445-5888 <URL:http://aultnis.rutgers.edu/pghome.html>
