Ad Council Activities

Any possible work with the Ad Council is only one possible path that the group might take. There are a number of advantages to working with the Ad Council, and even if a partnership with the Ad Council is never achieved, the work that leads to that can inform many other activities.

Carol Minton Morris and Butch Lazorchak held phone call with Kate Emmanuel of the Ad Council on Dec. 21, 2010. Notes also in a Word file here.

Storage Vendors

There were several excellent ideas to engage storage vendors in putting "digital preservation" messages in the README files of their devices. Or other ways of engaging with the storage vendor industry. Some thoughts:

Are there current initiatives with storage vendors by the digital preservation community?
Are the storage industry events that the NDSA should participate in?
Are the activities currently being practiced within the storage industry that the NDSA can leveraged to support digital preservation?
2 of the HDD companies that sell into the professional audio environment have already offered to preinstall the PCA project metadata collection app (http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/partners/bms_chace/bms_chace.html)

Process Map

In addition to gathering resources, this action team will work on developing a process map/timeline that will help develop phases and stages to guide progress.

Tools and Services

Do we want an NDSA Facebook page? Twitter account? How to best distribute the NDSA message? What tools, services and processes does your institution utilize to

Resources

Add your favorite digital preservation news articles, videos, etc.

"Preservation-in-a-Box"

Box 1, Resources to educate beginning professionals This title is a little misleading. I am not a beginning professional, but I may need to learn the basics of this topic for strategic planning, budget development and execution, etc. My own interest is not in doing digital preservation, but in knowing how to manage digital preservation projects and the people doing it.

Purpose: This box of resources can be used to educate those who have little to no knowledge of digital preservation, but who will need a working knowledge of this area for their professional pursuits. 'Who is a professional in this context?'

Audience?: Library science students, library professionals, professionals charged with preserving digital information. Can we change this to library staff or those employed in settings where digitail preservation is concerned? I'm not sure what a library professional is?

Topics to be covered:

How do I become a digital preservationist? What are the credentials needed/recommended?
Digital preservation standards in the U.S.
Obsolescence
Backups
Preservation metadata
Digital object lifecycle (specific - OAIS?)

Resources:

- Selecting file formats
Tutorial
- Cornell/ICPSR tutorial
Getting in touch with the community
- We've compiled a pretty decent list here. Others to point people to?

Box 2, Resources to educate nonprofessionals Can we change this to personal digital preservation or something not quite as judgemental as "nonprofessionals"?

Purpose: This box of resources can be used to educate those who have little to no knowledge of digital preservation, to help them with stewarding their own personal digital information.

Audience?: Members of the general public who may routinely create digital information for personal use.

Topics to be covered:

Obsolescence
Backups
Preservation metadata (in brief?)
Digital object lifecycle (general)
