  3. No preference Academia Industry Industry vs. Academia 2000 survey by The Scientist magazine asked their readers: Overall which environment do you prefer? 73% of survey respondents had held research positions in industry and academia. http://www.the-scientist.com/2001/4/16/28/2/

  4. Industry vs. Academia • Movement • Academia  Industry is common • Industry  Academia very uncommon • Flexibility • Schedule • Focus • Compensation

  5. Research Interests • Digital preservation • Will we be able to see our websites 20 years from now? • Web crawling • How can search engines and web archives duplicate/ download our websites more efficiently and effectively? • Search engines • How much/what content do commercial search engines index and cache? • How synchronized are search engines APIs with what the general user sees?
