In the context of "Digital Scotland" and "Scotland's Cultural Strategy",
Information Professionals need to consider how best to select, provide
access to, and indeed preserve for posterity, the most important Scottish
websites.
The National Library of Australia's initiative PADI (Preserving Access to
Digital Information) has given rise to PANDORA, one of the best thought
through digital archiving sites (and indeed National Web Portals)
currently available anywhere in the world.

Deborah Woodyard has a background in cultural heritage conservation and
commenced work in the National Library of Australia's Preservation area as
a paper conservator in 1990. With the Library's growing emphasis on
digital publications she changed her focus in 1996 and played a major role
in establishing the Digital Preservation area where she has undertaken
important work in the preservation of online and physical format digital
items.
An accomplished and entertaining international speaker, Deborah
will explain the philosophy and the practicalities of NLA's approach to
this vital and fascinating topic, and there will be plenty of time to
answer delegates' questions and discuss alternative approaches and points
of view.
