Digital Preservation = Enduring Access
Description
Digital preservation is about ensuring the continual access to and usability of digital content over time. In response to the growing need to preserve our growing digital cultural and scientific record, the University of Minnesota Libraries, in partnership with the Minnesota Digital Library and others, aim to develop scalable, standards-compliant capacities and capabilities to manage the full life-cycle of digital entities end-to-end, from submission to dissemination. This presentation provides an overview of the Libraries’ plan to establish and implement policies, a management structure and a preservation management system designed to support the acquisition, validation, ingest, storage, management, integrity, usability, and dissemination of digital objects deemed worthy of enduring access.
