Monitoring Technological Developments (that will enhance information management in the preservation process): "And what we can see and imagine gives us faith for what surpasses the imagination." (Wells, 1902) A variety of technologies can be expected to have a profound influence on the preservation process of the future. The development of applications using these technologies will center on the fundamental attributes of the computer as a CRM tool, and will capitalize on what the computer does best: manage large and diverse information bases to facilitate data integration, rapid data retrieval, and interdisciplinary networking.
