Bio
Ms. Hartman has been involved in leadership roles in state, national, and international organizations and councils including the American Library Association, the Texas Library Association, the International Internet Preservation Consortium, and the Texas Records Management Interagency Coordinating Council. She is a past chair of the Federal Depository Library Council, an advisory body to the head of the US Government Printing Office on issues related to U.S. government information access policy. Her preservation efforts for electronic government information include: establishing the CyberCemetery in 1997, in partnership with the U.S. Government Printing Office to preserve the Web sites of dead U.S. government agencies and commissions; and creating a partnership with the Texas Secretary of State's Office in 2000, to archive back electronic issues of the Texas Register and later the partnership was expanded to include the Texas Laws and Resolutions Archive. She is the founder of the Portal to Texas History program that has now helped more than 200 libraries and museums in Texas digitize their unique collections and make them available on the Web.
