[Asis-l] DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE): You Tube Preservation Animations Released

[Joy Davidson]

Dear All,

As many of you will know DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) are committed to
making digital preservation materials available to the widest possible
audience and to breaking down barriers to access. The release of a new
series of short animations introducing and explaining digital preservation
problems and solutions for the general public marks an important step
reaching this goal. 

We are delighted to announce that the first animation is now ready for
viewing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbBa6Oam7-w

We believe these cartoons encapsulate complex digital preservation issues
and problems and explain them in a funny and easy to follow plot. Please fee
free to make use of these animations as part of your own work to raise
awareness and understanding about digital preservation. 

Future animations will be released on our You Tube Channel at
http://www.youtube.com/user/wepreserve

review for DPE is next week and we would like to generate as many views as
possible.

Best,

Emily
