Digital Future:  Archiving
Library of Congress
Washington, District of Columbia (United States)

Kahle, Brewster , Co-Founder and Director, Internet Archives

Brewster Kahle, digital librarian, director and co-founder of the 
Internet Archive, will explain how and why capturing material on the 
Web is important and discuss the challenges of selecting pertinent 
content.  Mr. Kahle is the person who first developed the idea and 
tools to archive the Web.  He will explain how he did that, and why 
it's important to our everday use of the internet.  The title of his 
talk is "Universal Access to Knowledge."

The featured speaker will be followed by a panel discussion, and a 
question and answer session with the audience at the venue, and C-SPAN 
television viewers who email questions to the experts at 
digital at loc.gov.

The series "Managing Knowledge and Creativity in a Digital Context" 
will examine how the digital age is changing the most basic ways 
information is organized and classified.  The goal is to educate the 
public on what the digital age means to their lives.
