On September 22-23, 2014 the Library of Congress hosted its annual invitational meeting on Designing Storage Architectures for Digital Collections in Washington DC; I was once again fortunate to be able to attend. This is a consistently excellent meeting that makes a real contribution to understanding interactions among storage systems, reliability and resilience, and preservation and digital library economics. The presentation materials from the meeting are now online at

There is a wealth of valuable material here that will be of interest to CNI-announce readers.
