INTEREST GROUP MEETING DETAILS Digital Curation Interest Group (ACRL)
DataBib: An Online Bibliography of Research Data Repositories (Michael Witt, Research Librarian & Assistant Professor, Purdue University, D2C2) The Institute of Library and Museum Services awarded a Sparks! Innovation Grant to the Purdue and Penn State Universities to develop an online, community-driven, annotated bibliography of research data repositories. This tool, called Databib (http://databib.lib.purdue.edu), seeks to become an important resource to data librarians, users, producers, and funders. The Databib platform attempts to challenge the traditional concept of a bibliography by employing the latest technologies to instantiate bibliographic content and integrate it in Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0 environments. An introduction and demonstration of Databib will be followed by time for questions and discussion.
Collaborative Approaches to Digital Curation (Jared Lyle, ICPSR, University of Michigan, Libbie Stephenson, Director, UCLA Social Science Data Archive, Ron Nakao, Data Specialist, Stanford Libraries)
Recent partnerships have increased the collaborative nature of curation and preservation, especially for ‘lone’ archivists and librarians. This is promising, as small and “one-man” shops can readily take advantage of existing tools and resources without having to rely as heavily on bigger or more established partners to do the majority of the work. The partnership is equally rewarding for large or established archives, as more data can be archived, and at a higher quality.Ron Nakao will discuss his experiences as a data librarian and technology specialist at Stanford to help faculty prepare for and archive data, including depositing data at a local repository and at ICPSR. Libbie Stephenson will discuss her experiences at the UCLA Social Science Data Archive to tailor a customized curation workflow (using Dataverse, Colectica, Data-PASS, etc.) to increase usability and better insure preservation.Jared Lyle will discuss ICPSR’s recent efforts to team with repository managers and librarians to self-curate data.
Digital Conversion Interest Group (ALCTS - PARS)
Adventures in Digital Curation (Meg Meiman, Coordinator, Undergraduate Research Program, University of Delaware)
This talk will focus on the challenges and discoveries that have been encountered while working with large amounts of digital content in an undergraduate research program. Topics will include working with preservation file formats, the ongoing need for continued training and practical learning, and operating effectively with limited staff and resources.
Starting Small: Practical First Steps in Digital Preservation (Helen K. Bailey, Preservation Specialist, Dartmouth College Library)
This talk will focus on practical steps that can be taken towards the preservation of digital content through the development of a temporary, inexpensive, one-person solution; and will discuss topics such as metadata, file format information, and tools for packaging and validating content.
Intellectual Access to Preservation Metadata Interest Group (ALCTS PARS)
Editing and Embedding Audio-Visual Metadata with MetaEdit (Chris Lacinak, President, AudioVisual Preservation Solutions)
Over the past three years the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) has been working on several projects related to audio-visual technical metadata. Two recent efforts have resulted in metadata recommendations and free, open-source applications, AVI MetaEdit and BWF MetaEdit, for embedding, editing and exporting metadata within AVI (video) and BWF (audio) files. FADGI has engaged Chris Lacinak, the presenter for this session, and his colleagues at AudioVisual Preservation Solutions to support the effort, including coding the applications. Chris will review the metadata recommendations and demonstrate the applications, walking the audience through use-cases to help assess the applicability of these applications for use in their own organizations.
Discover the Technical Metadata in your Still Image Digital Files (Joan DaShiell, Product Manager for Digitization Services, Preservation Services Center, Backstage Library Works, Bethlehem, PA)
Have you wondered; what is all this technical metadata in my digital file? If so, come and learn from digitization expert, Joan DaShiell. Joan will explain the technical data of a TIFF, JPEG 2000, and PDF file. Joan will also walk us through the tools and formats for extraction. This presentation is given from the perspective of a digital project manager of a major library vendor. She will also share details of the Backstage Library Works digital production and how some of our clients use this data.

Collecting Born-Digital Materials from the Web: It’s a CINCH! (Lisa Gregory, Digital Projects Liaison, State Library of North Carolina)
Since August 2011, thanks to an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Sparks! Ignition grant, staff from the State Library of North Carolina in conjunction with staff from the North Carolina Libraries for Virtual Education (NCLIVE) have been developing the CINCH tool, which Captures, INgests, and CHecksums records the Library is legislatively mandated to maintain. This tool incorporates a capture utility and existing digital preservation technologies to create a more-automated workflow for capturing online files for preservation and access. This presentation will describe the tool’s development, functionality, and projected use. Lisa Gregory works as Digital Projects Liaison in the Digital Information Management Program at the State Library of North Carolina. She currently manages one of the State Library’s off-site digitization project, works with interface design and usability, and participates in research and development of digital preservation tools and workflows.
The Web is a Mess: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Web Archiving (Lori Donovan, Partner Specialist, Internet Archive)
Web Archiving: While most libraries put a great deal of effort into establishing a dynamic and engaging web presence for their institution, many are not currently preserving their own web presence or web content related to their institution’s mission or collecting policies. This session will discuss the importance of web archiving and provide use cases, discuss best practices, lessons learned, challenges and successes and provide an overview of Archive-It, a web archiving service. Lori Donovan is a Partner Specialist at the Internet Archive helping libraries, archives and othercultural institutions archive the web. Lori has a Masters of Science in Information from the University of Michigan specializing in Archives and Digital Preservation.
