This webinar will focus on the benefits of addressing digital preservation challenges as a community. It will introduce a number of current resources, initiatives and projects, and explain how you can get involved, contribute to them, and get lots of value back.

h3. Community fail: what has gone wrong in the digital preservation community?

* Insufficient communication, awareness, sharing and collaboration
* Duplication / Reinvention / Insufficient reuse of existing tools/approaches
** Case study example: [digital preservation costing initiatives|CDP:Home], and blogged ["Digital Preservation Cost Modelling: Where did it all go wrong?"|http://openplanetsfoundation.org/blogs/2012-06-29-digital-preservation-cost-modelling-where-did-it-all-go-wrong]
** Case study example: [lists of digital preservation tools|SPR:Digital Preservation Tools]
** Lack of practitioner driven solutions
** Steve Knight quote, mismatch between user needs and DP solutions

* Community benefits
