As more and more artifacts of our cultural heritage and scholarly work
product become digitally created and disseminated, long-term preservation
becomes increasingly challenging for archives, libraries and other memory
organizations. To help these institutions fulfill their mission, software
manufacturers and service providers have developed specialized digital
preservation solutions for a variety of scholarly and cultural materials.
NISO's September 14 webinar, Discoverable, Available, Accessible: Preserving
Digital Content, will review current standards and best practices for
assuring the authenticity, findability, accessibility and usability of
digital content and some of the solutions that use them.
Topics and speakers are:
. Standards in the World of Preservation - Amy Kirchhoff (Archive Service
Product Manager, Portico) will provide an overview of preservation-related
standards, and discuss the need for these and the role they play in ensuring
digital materials remain available and usable.
. Rosetta, a Digital Preservation System - Ido Peled (Rosetta Product
Manager, Ex Libris) will discuss the role of digital preservation as part of
the digital library, the differences between preservation solutions and
institutional repositories, and how to create a sustainable digital
preservation model using the Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation
solution.
. CRL Assessment and Evaluation of Digital Repositories - Marie-Elise Waltz
(Special Projects Librarian, Center for Research Libraries) will discuss
CRL's repository auditing and certification work. She will review the need
for standards in digital repositories and the effect audits have on
repository activities. She will also discuss her work with the group
responsible for the new ISO standard, ISO 16363, Trusted Digital Repository
Checklist.
