Scholarly works like masters theses and dissertations are already preserved in print and electronically through services like ProQuest. But what should happen when the scholarly work is a digital project? How should that content be preserved? Who is responsible for the preservation of digital work once the scholar leaves the institution? For example, if a graduate student creates a digital project instead of a dissertation, who preserves that work and how? Who should pay for perpetual storage? What about academic blogs? How should they be captured and preserved? In this session participants will thrash out some of the preservation issues unique to digital works, especially those produced by students. Hopefully there will be no Silence during this session. As always, fezes are optional.
