ALCTS webinar: Protecting Future Access Now: Models for Preserving
Digitized Books and Other Content at Cultural Heritage Organizations
Date: April 27, 2011
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Over the past decade, the number of digitization projects
initiated by cultural heritage organizations has risen dramatically. As
these organizations take advantage of digital technologies to make their
unique content broadly available, their need to understand the different
ways to protect and preserve this digital content becomes increasingly
important.
* What is "long term" digital preservation?
* What options are there for this particular content?
* What steps are other libraries taking to preserve their content?
* What steps are sufficient?
Working together, Portico and Cornell University Library engaged in a
study funded by the NEH-IMLS Digital partnership to help the community
understand the preservation needs of electronic books and other digital
objects. We'll explore these findings as well as models for digital
preservation that are available to cultural heritage organizations.
Audience: Library, archive, and museum staff interested in understanding
long term digital preservation of locally created content.
Presenter: Amy J. Kirchhoff, Archive Product Manager, Portico. Kirchhoff
has been the Archive Service Product Manager for Portico since 2006. She
is responsible for creation and execution of archival policy and
oversees operation and development of the Portico website. Prior to her
work at Portico, Amy was director of technology for JSTOR and also
served as a member of the shared software development group at ITHAKA.
She has published articles on Portico’s preservation methodology and
policies in several publications including most recently Learned
Publishing and The Serials Librarian.
Webinar sponsored by ITHAKA.
