ISSUE COLLABORATORIES
Issue Collaboratories are highly interactive sessions of discussion, stimulated by brief presentations given by one or more leaders from the information professions. Each Collaboratory will provide an opportunity for a focused and sustained exchange of ideas about a current issue.

- Managing Electronic Records — A Partnership of Archivists and IT Professionals
- How can archivists, technologists, managers, and others cope with the explosion of electronic records — both traditional structured data and unstructured information like e-mail and WWW documents?
