[Rdap] Digital Preservation Work Featured in May issue of Discover Magazine

[Gary Marchionini]

Given that the logistics for RDAP 2012 are well along, it makes sense  
to think carefully about 2013.  It will take a good bit of work to get  
ACM, IEEE, and ASIST to work out a funding model so the timing may be  
right.  Whoever sponsors OR (CNI etc.) will also have to work out  
logistics.  The JCDL steering committee leaders are Rick Furuta, Ed  
Fox, and Edie Rasmussen.
