#critlib on Digital Preservation
chat on digital preservation, 6/6/2016. readings and questions: http://critlib.org/digital-preservation/
- These slides are a good and critical overview of OAIS for today's #digitalpreservation #critlib https://twitter.com/LibSkrat/status/738458553459974144 …
- Bummed to miss the #critlib talk on #digitalpreservation in 20min! But if *you* don't have a meeting... -> http://critlib.org/
- If you're joining in today's #critlib chat on #digitalpreservation, you can find all the questions (+ resources!) at http://critlib.org/digital-preservation/ …
- I'm #critlib-bing from NYC on my last day of staycation. After the chat I get to hang out with @edrabinski and #critgossip.
- All about this #critlib discussion today that is being moderated by the incomparable @DinahHandel Ready to talk about digital preservation!
- Happening now, hop to it! (I can't but will catch up later) #critlib https://twitter.com/DinahHandel/status/739815320848830464 …
- @DinahHandel I really appreciate this angle. Policies can be just a bunch of bullet points, or a band-aid, without the work. #critlib
- @DinahHandel For sure. So uh replace "policies" with "bunches of horrible diagrams" in my other tweet. That mile-high view #critlib
- A1: My informal digipres definition is based on an X lyric: "This is the game that moves as you play." #critlib
- @DinahHandel Also, cringe at "it's a process" -- still getting warmed up here :P #critlib
- Hi #critlib Digital archivist at @mselibrary here... joining late, and will be a bit in & out, but happy to be here.
- @staceyerdman yeah, the dif. standards for (ongoing) management of assets change fast. #critlib
- @AlicePrael yes! It isn't just about setting up a policy, there is maintenance work that has to happen & that gets left out a lot! #critlib
- @trlwagner right! when we should be doing the opposite - lowering barriers to entry, making digipres achievable #critlib
- Checking in on the #digitalpreservation #critlib as much as possible, but dedicated to tests for @archivematica now https://twitter.com/DinahHandel/status/739879518777823232 …
- #critlib chats always come back to labor! #humanswhodowork #librariansandarchivists not #librariesandarchives https://twitter.com/DinahHandel/status/739882234719666176 …
- @staceyerdman esp if you have "mature" repo (tons TBs). how to adjust that 2 new standards? (related 2 @DinahHandel #ndsr aip post) #critlib
- .@DinahHandel I'd flip this q and be tempted to say that archive best practice doesn't necessarily fit digipres. E.g. appraisal #critlib
- @DinahHandel biased b/c of where I work & have worked, but I would love to see more community consortiums based around content type #critlib
- @DinahHandel This always seems like a good idea, then the lawyers get involved & you realize how much PII is in e-recs #critlib
- + A2: I also regret not wearing my "WORST PRACTICES" shirt today which @kitschywitchy gave me as a MLIS graduation gift #critlib
- life, the universe, and #critlib https://twitter.com/TTMobile_us/status/739885880668786688 …
- @staceyerdman yeah, more talk about failure is I think something we should all encourage! #critlib
- @DinahHandel you'd need to basically fedex all your physical storage media to some "shared staff' in a workspace somewhere. #critlib
- @DinahHandel and then ingest into a shared platform with proportional hosting costs, etc. complicated but it can be done. #critlib
- @allanaaaaaaa Can you think of anyone that has done it? It would be cool to share some models of collaborative digital preservation #critlib
- @DinahHandel @allanaaaaaaa @metaarchive has a collaborative membership that allows this model that some are using.#critlib
- @DinahHandel but to me it seems like a really obvious model to copy, a digipres advisor driving around, grabbing yr HDDs. :) #critlib
- A4 This article on decentralized autonomous collections summarized a lot of the issues well for me #critlib https://medium.com/on-archivy/decentralized-autonomous-collections-ff256267cbd6#.nbtva8413 …
- Q3 amazing presentation by @LindaTadic "The Environmental Impact of #DigitalPreservation" provides A+ info http://static1.squarespace.com/static/56844dac0ab37742d396c9a6/t/56b8b6d6555986293525841b/1454946015874/Environmental_impact_digitalpreserv_slides_20160207.pdf … #critlib
- It's also the antithesis of #critlib. I won't bother reading it. It'd be great is if the men featured spoke up. https://twitter.com/Willoughbrarian/status/738445092852236288 …
- @DinahHandel Can be a means to an end for justifying future staff resource. However, my experience of project posts is mixed! #critlib
- @DinahHandel The diff is thinking centuries ahead. #critlib
- @DinahHandel DAM doesn't NECESSARILY require longterm accountability. Much DAM work = preservation (mgmt policy, docs, description) #critlib
- "hey, you're a digital archivist, can you put these RAD finding aids online for me, k thx" #critlib https://twitter.com/DinahHandel/status/739889701075734531 …
- @staceyerdman yeah, & because of nature of digital, much less likely to even have the possibility of recovery of these docs later #critlib
- @DinahHandel For example, major concern in dig pres is format obsolescence, medium degradation. #critlib
- @DinahHandel same w/overlap b/t KM, InfoSci, CS, traditional conservation, traditional archiving. Dig Pres made from other fields #critlib
- Digital preservation isn't really about description & doesn't emphasize access enough! See @shirapeltzman: http://qub.me/9xeXLe #critlib
- @chiuchiutrain Sure, like pics or correspondence donated by someone else, or big data that you don't know about... #critlib
- @chiuchiutrain But also does one have the right to remove negative info? Or to change one's mind? If it's even possible. #critlib
- @Bibliocracy Yes, I agree, that software is for access not preservation! #critlib
- @rorylitwin 'print it out' is an option for a pretty limited number of stuff, though! can't 'print' video, software, websites... #critlib
- @rorylitwin 'print it out' is an option for a pretty limited number of stuff, though! can't 'print' video, software, websites... #critlib
- #critlib A5 Someone has to preserve all the animated cat gifs forever and ever!!! #digipres #digipurrs pic.twitter.com/yLFimmc9FV
- @DinahHandel agree, more models like @bitconsortium whereby open source software can find ongoing support & community of practice #critlib
- @DinahHandel #critlib moar collaboration microservices > monoliths
- @trlwagner DIY pres is an oxymoron when you yourself only have a lifespan of 80 years or so. #critlib
- A5 Growth of programs like @digitalPOWRR and more emphasis on getting whatever you can done instead of being perfect #critlib
- @DinahHandel I hope 'digital preservation' can be just an arbitrary subset of 'preservation' & not treated as a weird other thing. #critlib
- @DinahHandel your questions make me think of scholars' use and perception of sites like http://academia.edu and ResearchGate #critlib
- @andrewjbtw @DinahHandel I'll just plug the IETF CELLAR working group here cuz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/cellar/charter/ … #critlib
- Critpitch: If you’re interested in sustainability and preservation, our conference next May http://litwinbooks.com/laac2017colloq.php … #critlib
- let this be our mantra! #digitalpreservation is the answer to crucial aspects of orgs' mission statements #critlib https://twitter.com/DinahHandel/status/739892404619218944 …
- Thanks to @DinahHandel for leading another excellent #critlib chat!
- @eiratansey I wish people would be more willing to share, even if they are embarrassed, because chances are they aren't alone! #critlib
- #critlib Excited about this next week at LoC: "Ethics and Challenges of Preserving What’s on the Internet" https://www.loc.gov/loc/kluge/news/save-web-2016.html?loclr=twklu …
- @DinahHandel being willing to share can mean sharing harsh truths about lib admin priorities and $, and ppl understandably are wary #critlib
- @eiratansey @DinahHandel I struggle with this exact point, because it can look like shaming or badmouthing when it really is not. #critlib
- I'm lurking #critlib to learn about #digipres, but here's a #critpitch: if you have more ideas to share, pitch an article @libraryleadpipe!
- @DinahHandel @eiratansey why my lightning talk at #saa16 is called "The 17 Year Itch" bc that's how long the convo's been at my POE #critlib
- A5: I am hoping for more low-barrier, lower-cost solutions for non-specialists; more true collaboratives; more shared resources. #critlib
- @allanaaaaaaa I've been thinking about this too; putting workflows into action seems to be a mystical "next step" for many. #critlib
- @allanaaaaaaa I've been thinking about this too; putting workflows into action seems to be a mystical "next step" for many. #critlib
- @allanaaaaaaa Maybe a Choose Your Own Adventure style guide that pertains to workflow and practice, drawn together by case studies. #critlib
- And, of course, I don't mean to imply that these are settled issues. ;-) Adding hashtag. #critlib https://twitter.com/clancynewyork/status/739924253278113792 …
- @staceyerdman @eiratansey @DinahHandel (don't get it right/make it work).Politics isn't a safe environment so I think we all suffer #critlib
- @DinahHandel you know if any1 is planning to storify or otherwise synthesize today's #critlib? I'd love to share it with some non-twitterers
