Continuity: Evidence and Primary Sources in a Digital Age
Session I - 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Central Time
Expanding Access to Primary Source Collections and Databases
Growing privatization of information media is changing the ways in which libraries provide access to news, legal and government publications, and legacy collections in agriculture and technology. This session will report on recent developments in these arenas and CRL’s work to support library collection development in this environment.
This 90-minute session will focus on the following:
- New and ongoing CRL partnerships: the digitization of news, archives, and primary legal publications
- Licensing electronic resources: where CRL is focusing its efforts
- Accelerating the transition from print to digital: new CRL support for archiving in news, agriculture, and law.
Session II - 2:45 to 4:00 p.m. Central Time
Preserving Primary Source Collections and Databases
In 2010, Portico announced its plans to archive digital collections from Gale Cengage and Adam Matthew Digital; and HathiTrust is an emerging repository for millions of early books and serials. This session will focus on recent developments in the archiving of digitized primary source collections, and will feature discussions on the future of preservation of digital collections.
Winston Atkins, Preservation Officer at Duke University Libraries and member of CRL’s Certification Advisory Panel, will speak with:
- Eileen Fenton, Managing Director of Portico
- John Wilkin, Executive Director of HathiTrust
- Amy Kirchoff, Archive Service Product Manager at ITHAKA
Topics covered will include business models, costs, terms of access, and other subjects identified as priorities through the event registration survey.
