A recording is not available for this presentation.Libraries are spending an increasing amount of their budgets to purchase and create digital content. What will happen to this investment in the next 5 to 10 years? Without a concerted effort, these digital resources could become obsolete. To make today's digital resources available to the researchers of the future, we need to make sure that we preserve this data. In this talk, we will discuss background and basic principles of digital preservation, including the OAIS reference model, issues with formats and the problems with interactive digital materials. We will also discuss digital preservation activities within the IU Libraries and the DLP and our plans for the future
