CANCELED – Saving the News: Collaborative Approaches to Digital Preservation (Presented By: news division)
The Digital Revolution shift from analog to digital communication has compounded the challenge of curating and preserving news content for future generations. How can content creators and curators work to prepare legacy archives and born-digital news — in myriad formats — for preservation? How can organizations make news preservation a priority? This session will bring together content creators and stewards. Participants can learn about the latest developments in the field discuss approaches to help bridge the gap between the short-term goals of news producers and the long-term needs of digital preservation.

My Best Idea Yet
This structured discussion will be dedicated to library success stories. An opportunity to share great ideas that you have used to: generate new revenue; improve client services; preserve and repurpose archival content; introduce new apps or tools; add context or hard data to published content; or save the day. Participants should be prepared to share at least one “best idea” and will take away smart, practical tips to share with their colleagues back home.
Convention Center, Room 255

2:00pm
Breaking the News
Journalists talk about trending media issues, from covering breaking news stories in real time to building online traffic and readership across multiple platforms through social media.

In Memoriam: Barbara Semonche

We received the sad news today that Barbara Semonche passed away on Wednesday, May 13, 2015. There will be a Remembrance Celebration on June 13th at the family’s home. We have lost a great champion of news libraries, mentor and friend. Her work and dedication to the News Division will long be remembered. She not only devoted countless hours and energy to the News Division but also to other SLA chapters and divisions as well as many students at UNC-Chapel Hill. Many colleagues are sharing warm memories of her on the NewsLib mailing list. Our condolences to the family.

Transfers between trolley and bus and Round trips are not allowed with a one-way ticket. Purchase your ticket before boarding the Trolley from the ticket vending machines at each station.
