Projects addressing these issues in government agencies will be discussed as case studies. Students will be introduced to existing practices in the information technology field and their appropriateness to archival requirements: code vaulting and escrow; data warehousing; knowledge management. The course will include a consideration of the issues of authenticity and reauthentication in the long-term preservation of electronic records. Issues of access including privacy and open records in the context of World Wide Web standards and digital library initiatives will also be addressed.
