Why Preservation of Scholarly Content Matters<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Craig Van Dyck</b>,
Executive Director, The CLOCKSS Archive<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After a general introduction to the subject of preservation,
and to CLOCKSS, the presentation will touch on:<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Why preservation matters to end users, libraries,
publishers, funders, and research institutes<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- How CLOCKSS works<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Current challenges<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- What is needed to ensure preservation of scholarly content
(“the minutes of science”)<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>11:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

Enabling the Preservation Relay: Interoperable Repository Architectures<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Jonathan Wheeler</b>,
Data Curation Librarian, University of New Mexico and <b>Karl Benedict</b>, Associate Professor and Director of Research Data
Services, University of New Mexico College of University Libraries and Learning
Sciences.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>12:15 – 12:45 p.m. <br>
Harvard Library’s Digital Preservation Repository, the Digital Repository
Service<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Andrea Goethals</b>, Manager
of Digital Preservation and Repository Services, Harvard University<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>1:45 – 2:15 p.m. <br>
Portico: Lessons from a Community Supported Archive<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Kate Wittenberg</b>,
Managing Director, Portico; <b>Amy
Kirchhoff</b>, Archive Service Product Manager, Portico; and <b>Stephanie Orphan</b>, Director, Publisher
Relations, Portico<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>

Information Digitization in the Humanities: The Cultural Assessment Interest
Group<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Hannah Scates Kettler</b>,
Digitial Humanities Research & Instruction Librarian, University of Iowa<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This discussion will highlight the necessity of this work,
the progress of the group to date, and its intended outcomes over the next
year.<span></span></p>

Digital Archiving/Preservation Policy<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Christine Madsen</b>,
Chief Innovation Officer, and <b>Megan
Hurst</b>, Chief Experience Officer, Athenaeum21<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>4:00 – 4:30 p.m. <br>
Smithsonian Institution Archives: Durable Access to Digital Primary Sources<span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Ricc Ferrante</b>,
Information Technology Archivist & Director of Digital Services,
Smithsonian Institution Archives<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span></span></p>
