Marketing Plans (both Library and Non-Library)

Made to Stick - Companion website to book Made to Stick about crafting compelling messages.

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.

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.

Social Media

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

This work can start already without establishing an NDSA-specific foothold in the market. Join the conversation on the NDIIPP Facebook page(anyone can post!). If you tweet, please include the hashtag #NDSA when appropriate so that we can start building the NDSA brand on Twitter.

Resources

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

"Digital Preservation-in-a-Box"

[Box 1, Resources for Workplace Digital Preservation]

We should concentrate our attention on Box 1. NDIIPP is working on Box 2 and will share information when ready.

Purpose: This box of resources will be used to provide introductory-level education to those with little to no knowledge of digital preservation, 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.

Audience: 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.

Box Outline:

  • Box contents
  • How to Use the Resources in this Box. (to be written)
  • Digital Preservation 101, including general info on the education background of digital preservation professionals (to be written)
  • Glossary (we will aggregate from resources below)
  • Subject-area Resources (videos, handouts, urls, photographs of archaic devices, slides, etc.) (collected from below)
  • Marketing, Outreach and Event Guidance (to be written)


Box Subject Areas

  • Overview
  • Content Types (perhaps individual guidance for specific content types such as photographs, audio, video, electronic mail, personal documents and web archives)
  • Digital object lifecycle (very briefly mention OAIS; "digital preservation at the source")
  • Challenges to preserving digital information (hardware and software obsolescence, etc.)
  • Digital Preservation Standards (perhaps a limit to 10 or so key standards? Going through too many standards could be confusing to newcomers)
  • Digital Storage/Cloud Computing/Personal backup options
  • Preservation Metadata
  • Outreach Resources
  • Contact lists/Ones to watch (Including Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) (Local institutions and consortia who are doing digital preservation work - can we compile such a list?)


Resource Subject Areas and Examples




  • Individual Content Resources
    • Specific materials from http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/you/ - to be named...
    • Handouts and tutorials (Scanning Your Personal Collections, Transferring Photos from Camera to Computer, Media Durability)

  • Videos - Team Digital Preservation [1]


  • Digital Object Lifecycle
  • Access Issues


  • Challenges to Preserving Digital Information

  • Outreach Resources
    • Great list: here. We can provide a handout of "lists of lists" but it would also be good to provide very specific links and docs on how to do outreach.
