NDSA:Meeting Minutes 1-19-11

The OWG Storytellers group, Kim Shroeder, Deb Rossum, Amanda French, Butch Lazorchak, Carol Minton Morris (rec), met on Jan. 19 to discuss:

JCDL 2012 poster submission from NDSA Storytellers

--to increase participation: contributing ideas, production

--point out connection between easy-to-understand data loss stories and addressing digital preservation issues

--LOC will co-host JCDL this year, there will be an LOC booth at conference. This presents an opportunity/bandwidth to spread the word about NDSA objectives--why not use it?

--Process:

• Poster will highlight two submitted data loss story ideas: one about institutional story and one personal story. Abstract will explain why these two examples are of general interest and ask for more participation in submitting story ideas.

• Kim has gathered some additional data loss facts from her research for possible use:

In a 2011 survey of archivists, 129 responses came in to affirm their concern for the loss of digital media. Below is a list of highlights:

• Sixty-five percent said that obsolescence has affected them directly. • Sixty percent have content that is NOT accessible in their archive because of software in older formats. • Fifty-nine percent had material that they were unable to determine the content of because of obsolescence. • Seventy nine percent had formats that cannot be read because they no longer had access to the hardware. • Ninety seven percent had media that they can not read/play/open.

--Deb will take a first pass at writing an abstract and circulate for comment

--Deadline for submission is January 30, 2012
