About the Workshop 

 

Deepen your digital preservation knowledge with a two-day workshop
targeted toward representatives from organizations who have acquired or
created digital content and are now ready to address the issue of long
term access to digital collections by partnering with other
organizations. These partnerships can be existing or newly forming
intra- or inter-institutional collaborative efforts for digital
preservation.

 

The workshop sessions will cover key digital preservation planning
topics including:

 * assessing your local situation;
 * determining your organizational, functional, and technical needs;
 * matching needs to current digital preservation solutions.  

 

The workshop helps participants develop their own digital preservation
planning document, and allows time for group exercises and feedback.  

 

Workshop Faculty

 

Faculty for the Ohio workshop includes digital preservation experts
Robin L. Dale, Director of Digital Services for LYRASIS, and Priscilla
Caplan, Assistant Director for Digital Library Services at the Florida
Center for Library Automation.
