Established in 2001 and renewed in 2004; formerly named Technical Issues for Digital Data and combined with Intelligent and Knowledge Based Systems. To address the technical issues of library digital data which arise as libraries continue to both create and collect information in digital form in addition to other materials already in their collections. These issues include: standards; formats; archiving; infrastructure; and technology refresh. The objective of the IG will be to make information available, and to provide a forum for discusion for library professionals who are grappling with these issues. The IG will accomplish this by sponsoring conference programs, institutes, and facilitated discussions and encouraging publications on these issues.
