LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, IMLS, AND NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE TO HOST
NATIONAL DIGITAL STEWARDSHIP RESIDENCY SYMPOSIUM ON APRIL 8, 2014

On April 8, 2014, the inaugural cohort of National Digital Stewardship
Residents will present a symposium entitled "Emerging Trends in Digital
Stewardship" at the National Library of Medicine.  The symposium will
consist of panel presentations on topics including preserving social media
and collaborative workspaces, open government and open data, and digital
strategies for public and non-profit institutions.  It will also feature a
demonstration of BitCurator.

The National Digital Stewardship Residency is an initiative of the Library
of Congress and Institute of Museum and Library Services.  It "provide(s) a
robust, hands-on learning experience to complement graduate-level training
and education.  The inaugural cohort began their residency at Washington,
D.C. area libraries, museums, and cultural institutions in September 2013.
 Ten residents are embedded in institutions around the area, each
completing a project related to an aspect of digital preservation and
stewardship.  The NDSR program aims to "serve the American people by
developing the next generation of stewards to collect, manage, preserve,
and make accessible our digital assets." Further information about the
program can be found here: http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsr/

All sessions will be held in the National Library of Medicine's Lister Hill
Auditorium, on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
