**ANNOUNCING**
WORKING TOGETHER
A WORKSHOP FOR ARCHIVISTS, RECORDS MANAGERS AND
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGISTS
Sponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information
(CNI)
with support from the National Historical Publications
and Records Commission (NHPRC)
December 16-17, 1998
Georgetown University Conference Center
Washington, DC
DESCRIPTION: In an intensive, participatory workshop,
archivists, records managers, and information
technologists will look at the issues of digital
preservation and access, and discuss the management of
electronic records in their own institutional context.
Sessions will include presentations, small group work,
and a keynote by CNI's Executive Director Clifford
Lynch.
The purpose of the workshop is to promote the
inclusion of archival and records management issues in
systems development projects, create incentives for
supporting electronic records management concerns,
remove organizational barriers that prevent
archivists from implementing electronic records
programs, and educate archivists and information
technologists about their shared responsibilities and
interests in preservation of and access to electronic
records. Through collaboration among information
professionals, we hope to realize these goals.
The emphasis of this workshop is on *teamwork* --
bringing together teams of archivists, records
managers, and information technologists who will begin
to develop practical plans for electronic records
management that can be implemented at their own
institutions. Librarians with archive or records
management responsibilities are also eligible and
encouraged to participate as part of an institutional
team. Individuals from higher education institutions,
national, state and local archives and agencies, the
corporate sector, and non-profit institutions are
eligible to attend.
FACILITATORS: Gerry Bernbom, Special Assistant for
Digital Libraries and Distance Education, Office of
the Vice President for Information Technology, Indiana
University, is one of the original developers and
facilitators for CNI's Working Together Program.
Bernbom has led efforts at Indiana on information
architecture and co-directed an NHPRC-funded project
on archiving electronic records.
Fynnette Eaton currently serves as Director of the
Technical Services Division within the Smithsonian
Institution Archives. She joined the Smithsonian last
year to establish an electronic records program at the
SI Archives. Previously, she served as Chief of the
Technical Services Branch at the Center for Electronic
Records at the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA), where she was responsible for
developing a preservation program for electronic
records created by Federal agencies.
REGISTRATION: Participants must register as
institutional teams - one or more archivists or
records managers and one or more information
technologists per institution. REGISTRATION IS
LIMITED.
CNI and NHPRC are subsidizing the costs of the
meeting. Each participant is responsible for his/her
transportation, lodging, and non-conference meals.
There is no registration fee. In addition,
participants from outside the Washington, DC area may
