=Who/What are the audiences for digital preservation actions?=

==Library School Students==
The Outreach group has gradually come around to focusing on Library School students and education as a particular audience of focus.

===Library Student Blogs===

There is a pretty active tweet chat (using the hashtag #libchat) on Twitter every Wednesday at 8pm EDT

==Other Audiences==
Might be useful to bring in consumer marketing demographics such as [http://www.experian.com/small-business/geodemographic-segmentation-mailing-lists.jsp Experian's Lifestyle Consumer Mosaic].

Another way to look at it is who makes the "preserving" decisions in a household/organization.<br />

"Household" implying "consumer-level." Could further split into "memory responsibility" vs. "technical responsibility" (could also do this in organizations). For better or worse, this split is often gender-based, with the "man" taking on the "technical responsibility" and the "woman" taking on the "memory responsibility."

Do we target only those with "memory responsibility"? Is there a different message for those with "technical responsibility"? And if there is a gender-based split, how does that effect the way we shape the message?

Consumer vs. Professional? What about [[NDSA:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosumer pro-sumer]]?

OR, what if we approached this from the perspective of 'what' is being preserved vs. 'who' is doing the preserving? Can we try to define who our audience(s) are that way? I think we all realize we must focus on the most general of audiences for a large 'all-encompassing' ad campaign. Can we define a common thread across both "memory" and "technical" responsibilities to focus on? I.e. there were some great examples given in a few of the calls related to iPhone photos and other personal items like electronic letters (i.e. email correspondence, fb messages, etc.). Perhaps we can use the 'things to be preserved' to relate to both the consumer and professional realms. To be effective we must say something to our audience that directly points to some process in their daily life that happens digitally and has meaning for them.

LC's Digital Preservation Outreach and Education (DPOE) initiative has identified audiences for digital preservation training. This might be helpful when considering audiences for outreach [[NDSA:http://digitalpreservation.gov/education/]]

In addition to Library school students, other targeted "audiences" could be professional librarians and general public. There could be separate pitches to all three of these groups, and approached from distinct angles: with students, a focus on interests of younger generation, with professionals, a focus on technical considerations, with general public, a very general, basic approach. In all cases, the goal is to answer the question "why do you need to think about this?"

NDSA:Digital Preservation in a Box

2011-07-20T23:45:26Z

Sman: /* Box Contents: */

Back to the [[NDSA:Outreach Working Group]] Home.

Correlated with the NDIIPP "Personal Archiving in a Box" activity.

==Purpose:==

"Digital Preservation in a Box" is designed as a gentle introduction to the concepts of preserving digital information. Preserving digital information is a new concept that most people have little experience with. The guidance is basic and is meant to be a place to get started.

This box of resources can be used to provide introductory-level education those who may have little to no knowledge of digital preservation and digital curation issues, to help them with stewarding their own digital information, which might include Photographs, Audio, Video, Electronic mail, Personal documents and Web archives.

==Audience:==
A general audience who routinely create or manage digital information, but who may need a working knowledge of this area for digital preservation on the job or for training others on how to preserve digital resources. The audience includes library science students and educators; library, archive or other cultural heritage institution employees; others charged with preserving digital information as part of their jobs or for providing digital preservation training.

==Structure:==

“Digital Preservation in a Box” is a toolkit of resources.

The Box will be available as links to resources, be modular so that users can pull out only what they need or want, and will include items such as slides, videos, posters and handouts. Links to online tutorials or webinars are acceptable. It also could be modeled after an open-source software project, in that documentation on the Box will be available on a public web site where users can also download a tar, zip or other compressed file that includes all the resources necessary to use the Box. (See this Sourceforge page for an example of the potential look: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/)

The “box” structuring is conceptual as much as physical.
