The day begins with the keynote address by Clifford Lynch, Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information in Washington, D.C. In just over an hour, Clifford will establish the long-range view and provide a snapshot of the world of digital records at the present moment. Drawing upon his extensive experience in education, government agencies and consulting, he provides the perspective necessary to understand the issues.
