possible development opportunity re: preservation

I'm going to post this on the staff development blog, but this training opportunity seemed relevant to our committee as well - part of a sustainable technical infrastructure most likely includes a plan for preservation of our digital objects. Also, I like that this appears to be designed for institutions working in collaboration.

Travel wise, it wouldn't be too hard to get to Chicago...

So let's set some goals that'll be fun, huh?

With the launch of DukeMobile 1.1, the Duke University Libraries now offers the most comprehensive university digital image collection specifically formatted for an iPhone or iTouch device. It includes thousands of photos and other artifacts that range from early beer advertisements to materials on San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury scene in the 1960s. Although a growing number of scholarly institutions offer images and other material online, Duke is the first to offer collections that take advantage of the iPhone’s design, navigation and other features.
