Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Data Curation Conference Presentations and Journal

Last week I had the chance to attend the excellent 2nd Digitial 
Curation Conference in Glasgow. The presentations and posters from 
the meeting are now available online; you can find links to both, as 
well as other information about the meeting at:

http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/dcc-2006/

The meeting also included a launch announcement for the new 
open-access International Journal of Digital Curation; as far as I 
know this is the first journal focusing specifically on digital 
preservation and curation issues. The journal home page is at:

http://www.ijdc.net/

and the table of contents for the first issue is at:

http://www.ijdc.net/ijdc/issue/current

The first issue contains several excellent papers; I want to 
particularly direct your attention to the one by Neil Beagrie titled 
"Digital Curation for Science, Digital Libraries and Individuals".

Finally, let me take a moment to congratulate the UK Digital Curation 
Center, a major organizer of this meeting (see www.dcc.ac.uk for much 
more information about the work of the center); just prior to the 
meeting the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) announced 
that the DCC has won a three-year funding extension to continue their 
excellent work. The press release about this can be found at:
