Digital Asset Management: Implications for Preservation
|
Saturday, June 23, 2007
1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Description:
Preservation decisions about digital files need to be made at the time of file creation, unlike traditional approaches to preserving print materials (repairing, microfilming, photocopying), which can address preservation concerns well into the material’s lifespan. This program will explore ways of addressing these concerns when an institution begins a digital reformatting program. It will examine program management (including selection, reformatting quality guidelines, and metadata) and innovative approaches to archiving digital masters.
Speakers:
Janet Gertz, Director for Preservation, Columbia University
Robin Wendler, Metadata Analyst, Office for Information Systems, Harvard University
Joseph JaJa, Professor: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, University of Maryland
