Hello, I'm Annie Peterson and I'm the new Preservation Services Librarian for LYRASIS. Here at LYRASIS I'll be teaching a range of online courses, consulting with institutions on preservation, and maintaining our web resources related to preservation. I thought some of our preservation and digitization classes might be of interest to members of this email list, so at the beginning of each month I'll send a list of our upcoming classes in these areas. Please get in touch if you have any questions about courses, or about preservation, I'm here to help. This month LYRASIS is offering many online classes including "Bigger than a Shoebox: Personal Digital Preservation," "Metadata for Digitization and Preservation," "All History is Local: Find, Preserve, and Digitize Collections that Tell the Story," "Advanced Digital Stewardship," and more.
