Sustaining the digital collaborative is a multi-faceted issue. As the collaborative matures, it needs to address such issues as the maintenance and preservation of the digital collections, the financial viability of the collaborative, growth and maturing of the collaborative and other related organizational issues. Through plenary and panel sessions, this program will address sustainability issues from the perspective of those who manage collaborative digitization programs and those who are members of these collaboratives.

The keynote speaker will be Peter Brantley, Digital Library Federation executive director. Other speakers will include BCR's executive director, Brenda Bailey-Hainer; University of Utah's Kenning Arlitsch; University of Colorado's Liz Bishoff; Jodi Allison-Bunnell from the Northwest Digital Archive; and others.
