Most of us are leading very digital lives. Bank statements, interaction with friends, and photos of your dog are all digital. Even as librarians who value preservation, few of us organize our digital personal lives, let alone back it up or make plans for it. Participants in this 4 week online class will learn how to organize and manage their digital selves. Further, as librarians participants can use what they learn to advocate for better personal data management in others. 'Train-the-trainer' resources will be available so that librarians can share these tools and practices with students and patrons in their own libraries after taking this course.

Takeaways:

At the end of this course, participants will:

  *   Know best practices for handling all of their digital "stuff" with minimum effort
  *   Know how to save posts and data from social media sites
  *   Understand the basics of file organization, naming, and backup
  *   Have a plan for managing & organizing the backlog of existing personal digital material in their lives (including photographs, documents, and correspondence)
  *   Be prepared to handle new documents, photos, and other digital material for ongoing access
  *   Have the resources to teach others how to better manage their digital lives
