Guidance and solution development

Signs of Change• OCLC physical media report• Continued ownership by SAA, ALA,

etc. • Implementable tools and workflows– Duke Data Accessioner (Seth Shaw)– Practical E-records (Chris Prom)

• Recognition of gap• NDSA Levels of Preservation

NDSA Levels of Preservation

Next Steps• Continue work on Levels of

Preservation• Merging of research and practice– Better communication of needs/solutions

• Focus on implementable tools and guidance

• Tools Workflows– Archivematica – Hosted and vended solutions

• Leadership!
