Symposium Proceedings

Historically, print reports have been available for RLG events taking place prior to 1996.

For conferences in the more recent past, proceedings can be perused online or printed out at About RLG: Events: Past Events.

The following reports will become available electronically later this year (2007).

Selecting Library and Archive Collections for Digital Reformatting
1996, 172 pp.
Proceedings from an RLG symposium held November 5-6, 1995, in Washington, DC. The primary purpose of this event was to expose participants to the evolving environment in which selection decisions are being made and to provide them with the basic facts and selection strategies for making good decisions at their own institutions. As in previous symposiums, the concluding session focused on areas for RLG leadership and support.

Scholarship in the New Information Environment
1996, 76 pp.
Proceedings from an RLG symposium held May 2-3, 1995, at Harvard University. This 20th-anniversary event provided a forum to examine economic and other issues raised by the new electronic information environment, and to consider the potential for collaboration in designing and supporting this new information environment for research and higher education.

RLG Digital Image Access Project
1995, 104 pp.
Proceedings from an RLG symposium held March 31 and April 1, 1995, in Palo Alto, to wrap up two pioneering digital imaging projects launched in 1993 by RLG with members and with Stokes Imaging Services of Austin, Texas. This event convened project participants and experts in the field for reports on various aspects of the projects and discussion of questions the projects generated.

Digital Imaging Technology for Preservation
1994, 152 pp.
Proceedings from an RLG symposium held March 17-18, 1994, at Cornell University. This event was devoted to developing a common understanding about the uses of digital-image technology in preserving research resources.

Electronic Access to Information: A New Service Paradigm
1994, 83 pp.
Proceedings from an RLG symposium held July 23-24, 1993, in Palo Alto, California. This event focused on (1) exploring opportunities for cooperative action to take advantage of technology and improve electronic access to information; and (2) developing strategies for making the most effective use of both available technologies and electronic information itself in support of the research and teaching missions of RLG member institutions.

Photograph Preservation and the Research Library
1991, 56 pp.
Publication from an RLG symposium held at Stanford University in fall 1990. Contains a thoughtful introduction and five illustrated papers focused on the problems that deteriorating photographic collections pose to their repositories. The conclusion summarizes suggested cooperative actions toward addressing the shared challenge.

Computer Files and the Research Library

1990, 59 pp.
Publication from an RLG symposium held at Stanford University in fall 1989. Contains four papers exploring the many problems posed to research libraries in providing patrons access to machine-readable data in and outside of library collections; conclusion suggests possibilities for cooperative action.
