    • results:

all this made me consider:
  • should we establish a digital preservation protocol for TBPL?
  • does the City have one?
    • collaborative opportunity?
  • do we have an archival plan for paper stuff? (eg. newsletters?)
  • records management...I think we do for offfical stuff, but what about PR / public stuff
  • for eg. is our old webpage gone forever?...do we care?!...value to see how far we've come, document history
