Today's Seminar will include reports on the American Society for Information Science & Technology Annual Meeting and the Pre-conference in the History of Information Science; the first and second National Archival Authorities Cooperative (NAAC) meetings to build a National Archival Authorities Infrastructure; and the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (successor of the European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL)) in Cyprus.

>   Friday, Nov 16: David ROSENTHAL, Stanford: The Truth Is Out There: Preservation and the Cloud.
>     With the recent introductions of DuraCloud, Preservica, Glacier and others, preservation has joined most other applications in being offered as a cloud service, Preservation as a Service (PaaS). Does PaaS make technical, economic or business sense? What characteristics make applications cloud-friendly? If outsourcing to third-party cloud services is such a great idea, why do companies that get big enough all build their own clouds?

He co-founded and is Chief Scientist of the LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) Program at the Stanford University Libraries.
