ALCTS webinar: Hosting a Personal Digital Archiving Day Event
Date: March 20, 2013
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
This webinar discusses how to host an innovative public program on
preserving personal digital information.
In an effort to share knowledge on how best to care for personal digital
information, The Library of Congress’ National Digital Information
Infrastructure and Preservation Program developed The Personal Digital
Archiving Day Kit. The toolkit provides resources for staff at
libraries, archives and other cultural institutions to help them plan
and present a personal digital archiving day program.
This webinar focuses on the resources included in the kit, how the kit
can be used to plan a public program, and why holding a personal digital
archiving program is beneficial for both public libraries and their
communities.
Learning outcomes: Learn practical tips for hosting a personal digital
archiving day event.
Learn about resources on digital preservation that can help individuals
preserve their digital files, photos, videos, emails, and social media.
Who should attend? Librarians and other information professionals
interested in hosting a public event on how to preserve personal digital
information.
Presenter: Erin Engle is a Digital Archivist with the National Digital
Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at the Library of
Congress. She coordinates and contributes to communications, outreach,
and social media activities for the Program, works on developing
personal digital archiving resources, and is Editor of the monthly
Library of Congress Digital Preservation Newsletter. She has a BA in
International Politics and French from The Pennsylvania State University
and an MSLS from The Catholic University of America.
