2009 SAA Research Forum
“Foundations and Innovations”
The third annual SAA Research Forum was held Tuesday, August 11, 2009, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Hilton Austin. The forum explored the full spectrum of research activities – from “pure” research to applied research to innovative practice. The keynote address, “Digital Preservation Research Initiatives at NLNZ,” was delivered by Steve Knight. (SAA is grateful to Ex Libris Group for its sponsorship of the Research Forum.)
For more on the Research Forum, see Julie McLeod’s interview with Forum organizers and participants, part of the Records Management Today Podcast Series.
