January Classes Spotlight:
Practical
Digital Preservation on a Shoestring: Triage for the Underfunded
Tuesday, January 28 and Wednesday, January 29, 2020
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET
Instructor:
Jaime Schumacher
This course will help you develop a pragmatic approach to digital preservation, including how to implement a practical workflow for triaging digital materials in your care. We will
cover concepts like how different digital preservation tools/services can perform different functions within the digital curation lifecycle, methods for investigating and selecting potential tools/services based on your available resources, and how to make
incremental progress towards achieving reasonable preservation goals. The focus will be on low-cost and free tools and services and the instructor will demonstrate these tools in action through a full life-cycle workflow. The focus of this course is on preservation,
and not on access or digitization of materials. We will not be addressing the "why" of digital preservation; rather, we are preparing for the "how" of making informed decisions regarding workflows and tool selection. An introductory knowledge of digital preservation
issues, such as those outlined in the
Digital Preservation Coalition's Handbook, is required.
