University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
Supplied note: "Please be aware of a new informal session on "Pacific Web Sites: Archiving Issues and Challenges, to be held during the upcoming Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania (ASAO) [www.soc.hawaii.edu/asao/pacific/hawaiki.html - ed.] Annual Meeting in Salem, Massachusetts, USA. The session is scheduled for 10:30 am - noon on Saturday 28 February 2004. This session will consider web sites as resources which require special considerations for long term storage, retrieval, and access. Dore Minatodani, Hawaii Specialist with the Hawaiian Collection at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, will provide background to stimulate our discussion by describing approaches to archiving web sites that have been implemented and others that are being explored. We encourage all participants to share their experiences, challenges, and solutions. We welcome all ASAO participants' input, especially regarding projected future research needs. From this link you can access the ASAO home page and further conference information. If you plan to attend the ASAO meetings in Salem, and are interested in joining this session, could you please let me know as soon as possible? Dore and I are compiling a short reading list which we hope you will have time to review beforehand. We will send this out to those who plan to attend the session! Please be aware that this session is NOT limited to librarians and archivists!! I look forward to seeing many of you in Salem next month, and to a timely and productive discussion.
