The registration fee for the conference is $370. The purpose of the LTUG is to provide users of large Oracle StorageTek tape libraries a forum to discuss common concerns and issues. Attendees will be updated on the latest Oracle Tape, Tiered Storage, and Storage Cloud technologies. Additionally, LTUG participants can provide feedback and insights which can directly influence Oracle StorageTek products and direction. LTUG provides an environment where members feel comfortable in talking to one another, to Oracle product management, and to key Oracle engineers. This is a great forum to share best practices in an informal setting. New members are welcome!

The SPN 2016 Forum theme,"Action Research: Empowering the Cultural Heritage Community and Mapping Out Next Steps for Software Preservation" reflects the mission of the Software Preservation Network (SPN) to solicit community input and build consensus around next steps for preserving software at scale - in the larger effort to ensure long-term access to digital objects. Community participation is key to success - Be apart of the SPN 2016 Forum program! Registration will be free but space is limited! Proposals are invited on topics such as: * Current collaborations/consortial efforts * Collective software licensing approaches * Preservation efforts * Emulated or virtualized access options * Organizational structures that have worked for other multi-institutional initiatives that may work for software preservation The SPN project team believes that the practice of critical reflection around software preservation must incorporate members from complementary domains to actively participate in a coordinated effort to develop a sustainable, national strategy for proprietary software licensing and collection - pulling heavily from the collective, lived experience and expertise of researcher-practitioners in software development, law, archives, libraries, museums, and other domains. While proposals that provide historical context for software collection or preservation are welcome, every proposal should include the following components: * Relevance to the Software Preservation Network project (what core component of the network does the proposal address?) * Pre-conference materials for attendees (surveys, worksheets, thought piece, etc.) * Session participant outcomes and how those outcomes pipe into the larger discussion of a national software preservation strategy * Assessment method - how would you define a successful session? How would you gauge the productivity of your session? Session format options include but are not limited to: * Use cases (30-45 minute presentation): describes specific institutional cases/situations where software played a key role in providing (or not being able to provide, as the case may be) access to digital collection material * What IFs (5-10 minute presentation): lightning talks that propose a realistic "what if?" scenario for addressing some aspect of software preservation * Context panels (45-60 minutes): provide contextual information about issues related to software preservation * Workshops (30-60 minutes): small group breakout activities that asks participants to reflect on and refine emerging solutions to software preservation Important Dates: April 4: Deadline for forum proposal submissions April 5: Registration opens April 18: Notification of acceptance May 31: Registration closes More information about the forum, the call for proposals, and registration is available on the the Software Preservation Network website.

The collective size of these web archiving collections is approximately 3.3 petabytes, with the smallest collection size under one terabyte (TB) and the largest close to 800TB. The scan uncovers 22 opportunities for web archiving research and investment.
