DCC Tutorial Building Trust in Digital Repositories Using the DRAMBORA
Toolkit
27 April 2007
British Library, London
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/drambora-london-2007/
Introducing the DRAMBORA Toolkit
This practical tutorial will provide a contextual overview of the need for
an evidence based evaluation of digital repositories and offer an overview
of the DCC pilot audits to date. The tutorial will then move on to
demonstrate how institutions can make use of the DRAMBORA toolkit to
design, develop, evaluate, and/or refine new or existing trusted digital
repository systems and workflows. This will involve a walk-through of the
self-assessment process with practical examples based on the pilot audits.
Participants will be encouraged to draw upon and share their own
experiences during this discussion. Participants will receive a hard copy
of the toolkit and related documentation to take away with them so they
can begin to assess their own repositories and workflows or start
developing a repository system.
