*Preliminary Agenda*



*11:00 a.m. – 11:10 a.m. – Introduction*

*Todd Carpenter*, Executive Director, NISO and *Marcie Granahan*, Executive
Director, NFAIS



*11:10 – 11:45am    Why Preservation of Scholarly Content Matters*

*Craig Van Dyck*, Executive Director, The CLOCKSS Archive



After a general introduction to the subject of Preservation, and to
CLOCKSS, the presentation will touch on these aspects:

- How Preservation matters to end users, libraries, publishers, funders,
and research institutes

- How CLOCKSS works

- Current challenges

- What is needed, to ensure Preservation of scholarly content (“the minutes
of science”)



*11:45am – 12:15pm Enabling the Preservation Relay: Interoperable
Repository Architectures*

*Jonathan Wheeler*, Data Curation Librarian, University of New Mexico and *Karl
Benedict*, Associate Professor and Director of Research Data Services,
University of New Mexico College of University Libraries and Learning
Sciences



The variety of business and service models among digital repositories put
data at risk when production repositories lack a mandate or capability for
long term preservation. Repository architects can mitigate these risks
through development of systems which support the identification and
migration of digital assets at scale. In this session, we describe the
preservation-enabling features of the Geographic Storage and Retrieval
Engine (GSToRE) and provide an overview of requirements and workflows for
cross-platform data transfer.





*12:15pm - 12:45pm Harvard Library’s Digital Preservation Repository, the
Digital Repository Service*

*Andrea Goethals*, Manager of Digital Preservation and Repository Services,
Harvard University



This presentation will start with an overview of this 16-year old
repository, including key policies and strategies, what it contains and the
technology and people behind it. Some of the current work will be
highlighted, as well as challenges and future work.



*1:45 – 2:15pm Portico: Lessons from a Community Supported Archive*

*Kate Wittenberg*, Managing Director, Portico; *Amy Kirchhoff*, Archive
Service Product Manager, Portico; and *Stephanie Orphan*, Director,
Publisher Relations, Portico



In this presentation, Kate Wittenberg, Amy Kirchhoff, and Stephanie Orphan
will provide an overview of Portico, including what types of content we
preserve, what technical infrastructure is required, and why preservation
is important for scholarly communication. We will also discuss partnerships
we have developed that leverage work we have done, and what challenges and
opportunities lie ahead.



*2:15pm – 2:45pm Information Digitization in the Humanities: The Cultural
Assessment Interest Group*

*Hannah Scates Kettler*, Digitial Humanities Research & Instruction
Librarian, University of Iowa



The Cultural Assessment Interest Group is a new Digital Library Federation
Assessment Interest Group initiative that sprang from many conversations
held during last year’s DLF Forum following Safiya Noble’s keynote about
power structures in information technology entitled “Power, Privilege, and
the Imperative to Act”, and continued to gain steam with the keynote during
2016’s DLF Forum by Stacie Williams “All Labor is Local”. Growing within
the digital library community was a sense of unease as evidenced by the
themes of such talks. Perhaps we have not been quite as aware we’d hoped
when it came to information creation and digitization.



This year a group of GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums)
specialists came together to begin evaluating how well librarians are
representing and delivering the shared cultural heritage in digital
collections. The Cultural Assessment Interest Group takes a critical look
at the processes that create digital collections from material selection to
metadata creation in order to highlight areas of potential perpetuation of
societal power structures and correction of biased representation in
digital collections.



This discussion will highlight the necessity of this work, the progress of
this group to date and their intended outcomes over the next year.



*2:45pm – 3:15pm Digital Library of the Middle East*

*Charles J. Henry*, President, Council on Library and Information Resources



*3:15pm - 3:30pm Break*



*3:30pm – 4:00 Digital Archiving/Preservation Policy*

*Christine Madsen*, Chief Innovation Officer, and *Megan Hurst*, Chief
Experience Officer, Athenaeum21



As publishers, libraries and museums increasingly create, collect, and
depend upon digital data and collections, preservation policies and
strategies are more important than ever. Digital preservation policies
should be designed in such a way that they will actually be used and
referred to and they should align with overall digital strategy. This
presentation will present a simple framework for getting started (or
re-started) on digital preservation in your organization.



*4:00pm – 4:30pm Smithsonian Institution Archives: Durable Access to
Digital Primary Sources*

*Ricc Ferrante*, Information Technology Archivist & Director of Digital
Services, Smithsonian Institution Archives



Documenting over 170 years of the Institution established for the “increase
and diffusion of knowledge,” the Archives collects primary source materials
from the Smithsonian’s museums, research centers, curators, scientists and
administrative offices. With decades-old born holdings and an increasing
body of digitized collections, the Archives uses digital preservation and
curation methodologies to provide durable digital access to scholars,
researchers and the public around the world. This presentation will
illustrate how these methodologies are implemented along with examples of
how some researchers have used the collections as a result.
