Join us for the next NCompass Live: “Digital Preservation, Part 2: Storage and Protection”, on Wednesday, February 20, 10:00am – 11:00am CT.
Description: Digital Preservation is the focus of a three-part webinar series that will help you preserve your digital content. Sponsored by the Nebraska State Historical Society and the Nebraska Library Commission, these webinars will connect you to Library of Congress training modules. The LC’s Digital Preservation Outreach Education (DPOE) program simplifies the complex world of digital preservation into six tasks modules: inventory, select, storage, protect, manage, and provide.
February 20 features Storage and Protect Modules: From metadata to the Cloud, learn how proper storage for digital content will preserve it well into the future. Plus, should disaster strike, is your digital content protected? Backing up your data may not be enough. Learn how to identify potential risks and how to develop policies to protect your digital content.
All three webinars will be presented by Karen Keehr, Curator of Photographs at the Nebraska State Historical Society. Karen represented Nebraska at an intensive week-long DPOE training workshop this summer. These webinars are the first in a series of training opportunities for libraries, archives and museums that will be presented in 2013-14 as part of the newly-formed “Husker Heritage NEtwork,” funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
