                "Digital Culture & the Information Society"
               Report on EU Digitization Workshop, Jan. 2000

I have taken the unusual step of appending an attachment of a report,
unavailable on the web, on an interesting report on a workshop on
digitization, organized by the Cultural Heritage Applications unit of
the European Union's Information Society Directorate-General.

The brief report brings no real surprises but it underlines the need for:

* sustainable technical solutions;
* new business models and examples of success in various sizes and
types of collections;
* a clear, broadly accepted array of best practices in the creation
and management of digital resources
* "collaborative platforms" that can focus on interoperability
issues, dissemination of information on new technologies and
techniques, and advances in preservation policy and practice.
