Kevin Driedger of the Library of Michigan will speak on “Socially Networked Preservation” at MLC’s Preservation Conference on June 4-5, 2009, at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing, Michigan. Kevin will examine how the library preservation community is currently making use of social networking, or web 2.0, technologies such as blogs and wikis. He will also explore new opportunities to make greater use of these technologies to communicate and collaborate.

Following Kevin’s talk, Jeff Moyers of National Archives Publishing Company and Eric Alstrom of Michigan State University will discuss specific preservation projects involving library-vendor partnerships.
