ALCTS webinar: Steps in a Digital Preservation Workflow
Date: March 7, 2012
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: This presentation will outline generic considerations and
processes for building and managing a digital preservation workflow. We
will consider the workflow within the larger context of a digital
content life cycle, which runs from information creation through to
ongoing discovery and access. We will focus upon generalized steps
institutions can use to acquire, preserve and serve content. The
presentation will describe distinct workflow stages in conjunction with
sample procedures, policies, tools and services, stressing the dynamic
nature of workflows over time, including the use of modular components
and ongoing work to enhance automation and cope with issues of scale.
Learning outcomes: Participants will learn about the life cycle approach
to digital stewardship and how that concept relates to conceptualizing a
workflow for the purposes of institutional preservation and access. The
presentation will identify model workflow stages, generalized procedures
and policies, and commonly used tools and services. It will also include
a discussion of various preservation options, including localized
repositories and cloud services.
Who should attend: Librarians and archivists involved with preservation
of digital materials.
Presenter: Bill LeFurgy is Digital Initiative Project Manager with the
Library of Congress, National Digital Information Infrastructure and
Preservation Program. He is responsible for overseeing a digital
preservation projects in partnership with a variety of universities,
state archives and libraries, and other organizations. He is a frequent
speaker on digital preservation at venues around the world.
