Note: This group will meet in the courtyard at reserved tables. The UC Libraries Direction and Oversight Committee has convened a working group to explore a systemwide digital preservation strategy for the UC Libraries. This group, the UC Digital Preservation Strategy working group, has been charged with: 1) Investigating UC Libraries' current and planned digital preservation capabilities and needs, 2) Drafting and overview of best practices for digital preservation, 3) Drafting a comparison with digital preservation services and strategies of external digital preservation service and software organizations, and 4) preparing a charge for the next phase of this group. This session will be a relatively informal working lunch to discuss the work of the group and give an opportunity for other UC Stakeholders to provide suggestions, feedback, and consult on the work of the Digital Preservation Strategy working group and possible directions it might take. Both technical and non-technical practitioners are encouraged to attend.
