currently conducting a study on “Future Career Opportunities and
Educational Requirements for Digital Curation.” Digital curation is
defined by the committee as “active enhancement and management of digital
information assets for current and future use.” Margaret Hedstrom of the <st1:place

curation to hear perspectives from the private, governmental, and academic
sectors and to exchange ideas. The program is nearing finalization and a draft
agenda is attached for your information. The background information of this
project and the agenda are also posted on the BRDI website (<a
