Digital preservation policy how-to
Policy development tends to confuse me rather; I’ve learned how to do it, but it’s definitely been an acquired skill. People who can do that work easily and lucidly amaze me.
If your institution is looking at digital preservation feeling lost and unsure, I can’t recommend this report from JISC highly enough. It lays out what needs to appear in an institutional digital preservation policy, how to pitch it as part of the institutional mandate, and what examples are worth following. It’s just techie enough without being incomprehensibly geeky.
It’s excellent. Take a look. Seriously.
