NASIG 2018

The Digital Preservation Task Force proposes a panel discussion wherein we take the opportunity to share updates about the task force’s work, and discuss recent developments in the field of Digital Preservation. The main focus of the session will be a discussion between the panelists with plenty of opportunity for those in attendance to ask questions and offer feedback. Panelists will include members of the Task Force and publisher representation.

Currently, the Task Force is working on documentation to be made available via the NASIG website for reference by librarians, publishers, third party preservation agencies, and other interested parties. In addition, the Task Force has plans to develop a survey to better understand how NASIG can serve its membership and the profession at large with regard to digital preservation initiatives. The Task Force is also seeking ways in which it can collaborate with other professional organizations to proactively ensure digital preservation of the scholarly record.
