Description: This panel brings together government officials, researchers and librarians engaged in policy-making and digital preservation activities. Through facilitated and moderated dialog, this panel will present the perspectives of both government agencies and distributed institutions in policy-based collaborative activities. Session attendees will leave with a greater understanding of government information preservation initiatives, challenges in establishing and coordinating initiatives, policy and approaches for ensuring long-term success, and, hopefully, ways to become involved in new initiatives. This session will also help to inform the research of the PEGI Project’s white paper which aims to synthesize and advance the discussion, document current efforts and define best practices that can inform policy around information dissemination, preservation and access.
