Making Choices: IU Bloomington’s Media Preservation Prioritization Process
« media preservation

We are currently developing and testing a prioritization process and plan
to begin work with campus units early in the spring semester. Our charge is
to deliver by June 30 a prioritization plan for the first five years of
media preservation work. This project will be carried out by MPI Director
of Media Preservation Services, Mike Casey, and MPI assistant, Patrick
Feaster, assisted by the SMART team (see the blog post Get
SMART<http://mediapreservation.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/get-smart/>
).

The prioritization process relies upon a combination of software tools and
curatorial expertise to assess preservation condition/risk and
research/instructional value. The tools assist with structuring the
analysis and provide a measure of objectivity as well as transparency to
what is unavoidably, in part, subjective work. However, we do not believe
that prioritization decisions can be left to software applications alone.
Many parts of this process will be guided by the expertise and experience
of unit curators and collection managers as well as media technical and
format experts.
