Abstract for the panel:

Don’t be frightened! “Hybrid collections” are a relatively new thing. What are the four or five simple things that everyone – librarian, archivist, administrator - needs to know? The authorities in this seminar will demystify collecting, preserving, describing and providing access to born-digital materials. It’s early on, but tools and best practices for holistic management of born-digital manuscripts are emerging. Speakers will share tips, hints and lessons learned from both mainstream and high-profile digital collections.
