ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Information resources are increasingly born digital and may never have a
print counterpart. Many older resources are being digitized, with the
digital resource now the primary version. But digital resources depend on
technology and technology changes can render a resource in accessible. To
ensure digital information is sustainable, issues including file formats,
metadata, storage media, and compatible software and hardware must be
addressed.
ABOUT PART 1: Digital Preservation for Text
This webinar will share the experiences of several organizations in
developing a process for ensuring the preservation of digital textual
resources.
Topics and speakers are:
. Preserving the Law: Digital Curation in a Law Library Setting -
Leah Prescott, Associate Law Librarian for Digital Initiatives and Special
Collections, Georgetown University Law Library
. Rosetta digital preservation system: Enabling institutions to
preserve and provide access to their digital collections - Edward M.
Corrado, Director of Library Technology, Binghamton University Libraries
. National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) Levels of
Preservation - Trevor Owens, Digital Archivist, National Digital Information
Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), Office of Strategic
Initiatives, Library of Congress
ABOUT PART 2: Digital Preservation of Audio-Visual Content
Audio-visual resources in digital formats present even more challenges to
preservation than do digital text resources. Reformatting information to a
common file format can be difficult and may require specialists to ensure it
is done with no loss in integrity. While digital text may still be usable if
done imperfectly (e.g., skewed but still readable pages), even small errors
in digital A/V files could render the material unusable. This webinar will
share the experiences of several projects that are working to ensure that
A/V files can be preserved with their full integrity ensured
Topics and speakers are:
. Planning for Video Preservation Services at Harvard - Andrea
Goethals, Manager of Digital Preservation and Repository Services, Harvard
University Library and David Ackerman, Head of Media Preservation, Harvard
University Library
. AXF: Finally a Storage and Preservation Standard for the Ages -
Brian Campanotti, Chief Technical Officer, Front Porch Digital
. An Open-Source Preservation Solution: Hydra/Blacklight - Tom
Cramer, Chief Technology Strategist & Associate Director, Digital Library
Systems & Services, Stanford University Libraries
