Background
We wish to raise awareness and interest in digital curation amongst
current students, professionals, and the general public though this
series of high profile public lectures.
The future of an Information Society and the knowledge economy will be
built around electronic access to information. The enormous benefits of
electronic information and resources for innovation and communication
are already being realised in schools, universities, homes, business,
industry, and government. A growing and significant part of the record
and culture of the UK is now in digital form. The lives of staff working
in our institutions, current students, and private individuals will
increasingly be impacted by these trends and associated issues.
