*Preliminary Agenda*

*11:00 – 11:10 a.m. Introduction*

*Jill O'Neill*, Educational Programs Manager, NISO and *Marcie Granahan*,
Executive Director, NFAIS

*11:10 – 11:45 a.m. 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:

- Why 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”)

*11:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. 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 that support the identification and
migration of digital assets at scale. This session’s presenters will
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.

*12:15 – 12:45 p.m. 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, discussing key policies and strategies, what the repository
contains, and the technology and people behind it. Some current work will
be highlighted, as well as challenges and future work.

*1:45 – 2:15 p.m. 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 the
archive preserves, what technical infrastructure is required, and why
preservation is important for scholarly communication. The presenters will
also discuss partnerships Portico has developed that leverage its work and
what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.

*2:15 – 2:45 p.m. 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. It 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 gained 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 as we’d hoped when it comes
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. In order to highlight areas of potential perpetuation of
societal power structures and correction of biased representation in
digital collections, the Cultural Assessment Interest Group takes a
critical look at the processes—from material selection to metadata
creation—that create digital collections.

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

*2:45 – 3:15 p.m. Digital Library of the Middle East*

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

*3:15 - 3:30 p.m. Break*

*3:30 – 4:00 p.m. 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 offer a simple framework for getting started (or
re-started) on digital preservation in your organization.

*4:00 – 4:30 p.m. 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 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.
