‘Practical Approaches to Electronic Records: the Academy and
Beyond’
Friday, May 21, 2010
University of Dundee
The Centre for Archive and Information Studies at the University of
Dundee is pleased to announce a one-day seminar ‘Practical Approaches
to Electronic Records: The Academy and Beyond’ to be held on May
21st, 2010. To date, tools for identifying, preserving, and providing
access to electronic records have been difficult to implement,
particularly in archives or manuscript libraries that do not have access
to an extensive computing infrastructure. This seminar seeks to generate
discussion and action regarding down-to-earth approaches that any
archives—whatever its size or budget—can immediately take to address
this problem.
The speakers are at the forefront of current research aiming to
facilitate the preservation and access of ‘born digital’ materials.
Each will present a thought-provoking assessment of a specific topic or
project related to electronic records management. The day’s program
will also include facilitated discussions regarding specific steps that
your archive—whatever its focus—can use to implement a programme for
‘born digital’ materials.
This seminar is being held in conjunction with a meeting of the Section
Bureau of the International Council on Archives, Section on University
and Research Institution Archives. As such, attendees will be provided
ample opportunity to discuss and compare work that they have done, or
wish to do, with ‘born-digital’ materials, among a diverse group of
participants.
Cost: £65.00 standard, £35.00 students. Includes lunch and coffee.
