Matt Schultz
Grand Valley State University Libraries, United States of America
 
Personal content creation, collection, curation, and sharing are advancing into a new paradigm highly dependent on corporately controlled online platforms. Creators and cultural memory organizations are grappling with questions of ownership, control, and at-will sharing. This presentation explores curatorial strategies, advocacy efforts and grassroots initiatives that can serve as solutions.

Nathan Tallman
Penn State University, United States of America
 
In recent years, media outlets have reported that the 21st Century may become a "digital dark age.“ Simultaneously, ‘the right to be forgotten’ is an important issue that the European courts, libraries, and archives are struggling with managing. This presentation reconciles these issues and discusses digital preservation’s role.
