The ALCTS PARS Digital Preservation Interest Group invites speakers to
participate at the Digital Preservation Interest Group session at
the ALA Annual Meeting in Chicago on Sunday, June 30, 2013 from

Our theme for the session at ALA Annual will be repository ingest

surrounding ingest processes and the tools used to support these
workflows.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Workflows to prepare the contents of a SIP (Submission Information
Package) for storage and management
- Creating and deriving metadata (e.g. descriptive and technical)
needed to manage and identify digital objects or disk images
- Disk imaging practices
- Management of logical and physical disk images
- Validation of digital objects
- Dealing with digital objects on media of unusual types, formats,
ages, and conditions
- Dealing with multiple versions of digital objects
- Dealing with encrypted or password-protected digital objects
- Redaction practices and policies
- Dealing with digital objects created using special applications or
software versions
- Normalization of file formats
- Digital preservation tools that support ingest processes
Presentations should be approximately 20-30 minutes in length.
Additional time will be allowed for questions and discussion.
Please send abstracts of proposals to co-chairs by Friday, May 3,
2013. If you have questions, please contact us. We look forward to
hearing from you!
