Dear
colleagues
We
are scoping and planning for a new edition of the online Digital Preservation
Handbook and would be very grateful if you could contribute your needs and
views to this work.
The
Digital Preservation Handbook, written by Neil Beagrie and Maggie Jones, is
hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), which makes the Handbook
freely available as an online resource. The Handbook provides an
internationally authoritative and practical online guide that is heavily used
for continuous professional development, for university students, and for
training in digital preservation.
The
National Archives is working together with other stakeholders including Jisc
and the British Library, to support the Digital Preservation Coalition in
updating and revamping the Handbook. It is anticipated that its revision will
be modular and undertaken over a two year period. We request your input via a
short online survey.
There
are a maximum of 13 questions in total and the survey should take around 10
minutes of your time to complete.
The
online questionnaire is accessible at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DPHandbook
and the survey will close on Wednesday 16th June.
Thank you in advance for your participation. Your input will
make a significant contribution to the scoping of this important online
resource and the scheduling of modules for publication.

Coalition)
