• The difference between access and preservation tools, and why we need to consider both.
• Harvesting social networking websites for preservation.
• The organizational "long-view" of preservation resources, technology, costs and policies.

• Sarai Lastra, Vice Chancellor of Information Resources/Director of Virtual Library at Universidad del Turabo, Puerto Rico.
