* '''Kate Zwaard''', Library of Congress: I’m working on a few software development projects right now. The one that’s probably the most relevant here is a project I manage to help LC staff accession, preserve, and manage digital collections. We also develop Bagger and the BagIt Library. Aside from the standards and best practices of the software development world (development methodologies, code conventions, etc), the best practices we are interested in are related to preservation/administrative metadata, fixity, and provenance. One of our biggest challenges (and joys) comes from serving a diverse user base – our colleagues in the Law Library have different interests, requirements, and needs than our colleagues in the American Folklife Center or in the Manuscript division, for example. For sanity checks, we rely on our colleagues in the NDSA and in the software development community.
