1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,001
I'm Lucia and I'm a professor in the
Library of Information Science Program

2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:05,000
at University of Denver.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,001
I'm also a vice chair of Library of
the Lifflaw Library and the Phoebe

4
00:00:09,001 --> 00:00:11,001
Research Section.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
It is my distinct pleasure to introduce
our keynote, Mr. Kehl, who's going to

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
talk about digital preservation this afternoon.

7
00:00:22,001 --> 00:00:27,000
And those are one of the leaders
in the digital library field who

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,001
probably doesn't leave any introduction.

9
00:00:28,001 --> 00:00:34,001
I think all of us who are working in the
library and archives field are familiar

10
00:00:34,001 --> 00:00:41,001
with his phenomenal work to provide
access and preserve millions

11
00:00:41,001 --> 00:00:46,001
of books and other types of
resources in the Internet archive.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
In the interest of time, I just want to
say a few words about his background.

13
00:00:53,001 --> 00:00:57,001
Brewster is a founder and a digital
librarian in the Internet archive.

14
00:00:57,001 --> 00:01:03,001
One of the largest digital libraries
in the world that provides access and

15
00:01:03,001 --> 00:01:08,000
ensures the preservation of millions of
books and other types of resources in

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
the digital format.

17
00:01:10,001 --> 00:01:16,000
He was also a long career marked by
innovation and visionary thinking.

18
00:01:16,001 --> 00:01:22,000
Soon after graduating from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, MIT, he

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,001
studied artificial intelligence, by the way,
because we're talking so much about

20
00:01:27,001 --> 00:01:29,001
it, so I wanted to mention it.

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,001
Brewster helped to fund a company,
Thinking Machines, which is a

22
00:01:34,001 --> 00:01:36,001
parallel supercomputer maker.

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Then he was involved in the Internet
first publishing system called Wide Area

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,001
Information Server, Waze.

25
00:01:44,001 --> 00:01:48,000
It was sold to AOL.

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Then he co-founded Alexa Internet,
which helped to catalog the web

27
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
and then sold to Amazon.

28
00:01:57,001 --> 00:02:04,001
Then the Department of Internet Archive
was founded in 1996 and now preserves

29
00:02:04,001 --> 00:02:11,001
over 99 terabytes of data and that is

30
00:02:11,001 --> 00:02:17,001
books, web pages, music, television,
software, and other types of cultural

31
00:02:17,001 --> 00:02:24,000
heritage materials with more than 400
library and university partners who are

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,001
involved in completing and preserving
information that is accessible

33
00:02:29,001 --> 00:02:31,001
and open to all of us.

34
00:02:31,001 --> 00:02:32,001
Thank you very much, Brewster.
