Workshop Goals Promote Practical and Responsible Stewardship of Digital Assets. The goals of the workshop are to foster critical thinking in a technological realm and provide the means for exercising practical and responsible stewardship of digital assets in an age of technological uncertainty. The workshop sessions are geared towards making a digital preservation program doable for any organization and all of the sessions include as many relevant examples as we can fit. The workshop focuses on the decision points involved in responding to ongoing technological changes while managing digital content across the life cycle. Workshop Audience The workshop series is intended for managers who are or will be responsible for digital preservation programs in libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions. Faculty for June 2015 The faculty for the workshop will include Dr. Nancy Y. McGovern, Kari R. Smith, Courtney Mumma, and Brad Westbrook. Link here for information about each instructor. We are very pleased that our keynote speaker will be Dr. Katherine Skinner, Executive Director of the Educopia Institute. Workshop Content The workshop includes interactive presentations, group discussions, exercises, individual assignments, and a keynote presentation by an international expert in digital preservation. Workshop attendees explore the range of components needed to develop an effective digital preservation program. Workshop materials include action plans for organizations to complete when participants return to their institutions. Action plans result in organization-specific plans that incorporate technical, financial, organizational, and policy aspects encompassing the full life cycle of digital objects. The workshop focuses on strategies for organizations to implement now, while research and development goes forward in creating longer-term solutions that can be incorporated into the program framework. As a prerequisite for the workshop, we ask participants to work through the Digital Preservation Management Tutorial - a free resource for anyone interested in learning the foundations for digital preservation and as a starting point for advanced discussions.

As expressed in its Code of Conduct, OR is dedicated to providing a welcoming and positive experience for everyone and to having an environment in which all colleagues are treated with dignity and respect. The three host institutions for OR2015, Indiana University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Virginia Tech, share these values and are likewise committed to diversity and inclusion. OR2015 organizers and OR Steering Committee members share the concerns expressed by many about Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), now amended from its original form. We are grateful that the amendments begin to address many but not all of those concerns. With these concerns in mind, we have decided to continue with OR2015 in Indianapolis for several reasons: 1. To continue our goal of providing an international forum for the discussion of important issues confronting the repository community and ensuring that, at a time of significant change in research and scholarly communication practices, open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship 2. To recognise the many members of the OR community who have made a significant investment in time and expense to prepare and review conference submissions and make travel plans to attend the conference in Indianapolis 3. To support the Indianapolis community, which has shown a strong commitment to non-discrimination through its response to RFRA 4. To take the opportunity to work with and support local businesses that oppose discrimination and open their doors to everyone Conference organizers plan to enforce the Open Repositories Code of Conduct that applies to all conference vendors and suppliers: http://www.or2015.net/code-of-conduct/. Here are the steps that conference organizers will take immediately: 1. All associated conference vendors including host institutions, hotel, banquet venue, and service providers will be required to convey written commitments of non-discrimination. 2. We will make information available at the conference and via the conference website about restaurants and other local businesses who are opposed to discrimination and open their doors to serve everyone, in connection with the Open for Service initiative: http://openforservice.org/ 3. Conference badges will include the tagline ?Open Repositories, Open to All? to reflect Open Repositories? commitment to its core values of dignity and respect As the 10th annual International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2015 represents a key milestone for the community. We look forward to welcoming participants to Indianapolis to reflect on and celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research data that have taken place over the last decade and, more importantly, to look forward and prepare for the challenges of the next one. The OR steering committee and OR2015 organizers would like to hear from you with any questions or concerns. Please feel free to send messages via http://www.or2015.net/contact-us/, via twitter to @OR2015Indy or hashtag #OR2015, or directly to the Open Repositories list: open-repositories at googlegroups.com *Links:* Open Repositories Code of Conduct: http://www.or2015.net/code-of-conduct/ Indiana University Non-Discrimination Policy: http://trustees.iu.edu/resources/non-discrimination-policy.shtml University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Diversity Values Statement: http://inclusiveillinois.illinois.edu/mission.html Virginia Tech Principles of Community: http://www.diversity.vt.edu/principles-of-community/principles.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We expect that there will be work that manages to encapsulate both of these strands, and that is welcomed. All papers for iPRES 2015 should: - be leading edge - be innovative - help inform debate around what digital preservation is. Paper types Full and Short papers Full papers (8 to 10 pages) will report research work with novel contributions and/or practical engagement with digital preservation problems that show a demonstrable advance in the practice of digital preservation. Short papers (3 to 5 pages) can focus on new challenges and work in progress, whether in the research or innovative practice strand. All contributions must report on novel and previously unpublished work and will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. A best paper award will be offered and recommended for publication in an appropriate journal. Posters and demonstrations Submissions (up to 2 pages) are encouraged for posters reporting on emerging issues or work in progress, and also for demonstrations of innovative solutions. These submissions should describe the work to be presented and its contribution beyond the state of the art. Posters and demonstrations will be presented in a dedicated session during the conference. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. The accepted poster and demonstration submissions will be published in the proceedings. A best poster award will be offered. Panels Proposals for thematic panels to be held during the main conference program can be submitted by 3 to 5 experts. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal and relevance for the expected audience. Proposals must detail the subject, motivation and panelists. Workshops Proposals for thematic workshops are welcome. Proposals must detail the subject, scope, program strand and intended content. Ideally, workshops should be open to public registration and participation. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal, requirements for its organization, and local capability to support it (which should not be a major constraint). Tutorials Tutorials must be on a single topic, addressed at either an introductory level or an in-depth, expert level. Submissions for tutorials should be a maximum of 2 pages, including a brief abstract and an outline of the content, the duration (half-day 3 hours or full-day 6 hours), a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes, and a short biography of the presenter(s). Peer review and inclusion in iPres 2015 Proceedings All submissions will be subject to peer review. Those that are accepted for inclusion in the conference will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. For full and short papers, the full text will be published. For posters, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials and panels, abstracts will be published. After receiving results of the peer review, authors will have an opportunity to edit their submissions for the final proceedings. In order to ensure inclusion in the proceedings, authors should submit final text by August 15, 2015. Publication and Pre-publication at iPres 2015 iPRES is a venue where individuals from across the globe hash out ideas, share results and propose further actions to address the challenges and opportunities of digital preservation. This year, we would like to take further advantage of these rich exchanges by changing how the final proceedings are published. Participants at the conference will receive full pre-publication drafts of papers and abstracts of workshops, tutorials, panels, posters, and demos. Authors will be encouraged to link their own papers to others, to deal with criticisms or comments received, and to clear up any inaccuracies or misunderstandings. In addition panelists and workshop hosts will be invited to report their sessions more fully, and the program committee will commission a number of thematic syntheses to act as an accessible commentary to the whole conference. Authors will be given a short period after the conference to update their contributions to take account of discussion, debate and conference developments. Please note that pre-conference versions will be published if no revised version is provided. Additional opportunities Submissions are also encouraged for associated activities outside the formal program. Responsibility for planning and management of these would be with the submitting organization. The Program Committee would appreciate being notified and consulted about such activities in order to best coordinate efforts with the conference program.

As with the DPM model that is at the core of the DPM workshops, we intend for the tools to be useful to organizations and individuals in developing a right-sized and sustainable digital preservation programs. In demonstrating organizational readiness, there is a tool or technique to assist organizations in addressing and developing documentation in each of these areas: Principles: Adopt standards-based principles (DCP principles) Policy: Develop a high-level policy framework (DP model document) Scope: Complete a digital content review to define program scope (DCR process) Workflow: Document workflows to improve and automate (DCM workflows) Preparedness: Extend disaster preparedness to include digital (disaster planning) Self-assessment: Engage in self-assessment to gauge progress (self-assessment) The DPM tools were developed in part as an unintended outcome of the current DPMW grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). We are developing and maintaining the DPM tools using limited resources as part of our ongoing commitment to the workshop curriculum, so we appreciate your patience with the pace of our responses. The tools available under a Creative Commons license - we really want to promote their use. We will also be updating the tools and adding a tool or two more as we go along. We are always happy to receive feedback - nothing would be better than to move towards the next version of each of the tools based on experiences (ours and yours) in using them.

Joint Initiative Funded by IMLS* *A tripartite DPLA, Stanford University, and DuraSpace partnership will produce a turnkey, Hydra-based solution that can be widely and easily adopted by institutions nationwide.* *Boston, MA * The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), Stanford University, and the DuraSpace organization are pleased to announce that their joint initiative has been awarded a $2M National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Nicknamed Hydra-in-a-Box, the project aims foster a new, national, library network through a community-based repository system, enabling discovery, interoperability and reuse of digital resources by people from this country and around the world. This transformative network is based on advanced repositories that not only empower local institutions with new asset management capabilities, but also interconnect their data and collections through a shared platform. ?At the core of the Digital Public Library of America is our national network of hubs, and they need the systems envisioned by this project,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s executive director. ?By combining contemporary technologies for aggregating, storing, enhancing, and serving cultural heritage content, we expect this new stack will be a huge boon to DPLA and to the broader digital library community. In addition, I?m thrilled that the project brings together the expertise of DuraSpace, Stanford, and DPLA.? Each of the partners will fulfill specific roles in the joint initiative. Stanford will use its existing leadership in the Hydra Project to develop core components, in concert with the broader Hydra community. DPLA will focus on the connective tissue between hubs, mapping, and crosswalks to DPLA?s metadata application profile, and infrastructure to support metadata enhancement and remediation. DuraSpace will use its expertise in building and serving repositories, and doing so at scale, to construct the back-end systems for Hydra hosting. ?DuraSpace is excited to provide the infrastructure for this project,? said Debra Hanken Kurtz, DuraSpace CEO. ?It aligns perfectly with our mission to steward the scholarly and cultural heritage records and make them accessible for current and future generations. We look forward to working with DPLA and Stanford to support their work and that of the community to ensure a robust and sustainable future for ?Hydra-in-a-Box.?? Over the project?s 30-month time frame, the partners will engage with libraries, archives, and museums nationwide, especially current and prospective DPLA hubs and the Hydra community, to systematically capture the needs for a next-generation, open source, digital repository. They will collaboratively extend the existing Hydra project codebase to build, bundle, and promote a feature-complete, robust digital repository that is easy to install, configure, and maintain?in short, a next-generation digital repository that will work for institutions large and small, and is capable of running as a hosted service. Finally, starting with DPLA?s own metadata aggregation services, the partners will work to ensure that these repositories have the necessary affordances to support networked aggregation, discovery, management and access to these resources, producing a shared, sustainable, nationwide platform. ?The Hydra Project has already demonstrated enormous traction and value as a best-in-class digital repository for institutions like Stanford,? said Tom Cramer, Chief Technology Strategist at the Stanford University Libraries. ?And yet there is so much more to do. This grant will provide the means to rapidly accelerate Hydra?s rate of development and adoption--expanding its community, features and value all at once.? To find out more about the Hydra-in-a-Box initiative contact Dan Cohen ( dan at dp.la), Tom Cramer (tcramer at stanford.edu) or Debra Hanken Kurtz ( dkurtz at duraspace.org).

We know the spring is a very busy time for many of us in the digital preservation community but this is the last extension possible. Please also note that panel, workshop, and tutorial submissions (all require just an abstract) are due May 15th. Key Dates Short and long papers (full text) due - April 29, 2015 (previously April 20, 2015) Panel, workshop, and tutorial submissions (abstract) due - May 15, 2015 Submitters notified of review decisions for papers, panels, workshops and tutorials - June 22, 2015 Poster and demo submissions (abstract) due - June 29, 2015 Conference registration open - June 30, 2015 Submitters notified of review decisions for poster and demos - July 13, 2015 Preview versions of all submissions due, to include in conference participants packet - September 20, 2015 Earlybird registration closes - October 1, 2015 iPRES Conference - November 2-6, 2015 Final versions of conference contributions (including revisions based on conference feedback and activities) due - November 20, 2015 iPRES is the premier international conference on the preservation and long term management of digital materials. The iPRES 2015 will be held on November 2-6, 2015 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Contributions are currently being sought that present research and innovative practice in digital preservation. The iPRES 2015 conference is seeking contributions from research and innovative practice in digital preservation. The conference site is: http://ipres2015.org This call is available at: http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/call-for-contributions/ Author information and guidelines are at: http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/author-info-guidelines/ Contribution topics We welcome contributions that address at least one of the following topics: Institutional opportunities and challenges - local, regional and national approaches - legislative context and requirements - institutional contexts for preservation - collaboration and alignment - collection content profiling - research data management - personal archiving - documenting authenticity and integrity - demonstrating benefits and incentives - providing and documenting added value - evaluating options: products, tools, registries, services, service providers - exploring the potential of bartering Infrastructure (organizational and technological) opportunities and challenges - bit preservation - scalability - complex formats - large data sets, e.g. web data or research data - system architectures and requirements - distributed and cloud-based implementations - digital forensics - standards-based practice Frameworks for digital preservation - models - standards and practice - core concepts - business models - sustainability and economic viability Preservation strategies and workflows - preservation strategies (e.g., migration, emulation, normalization) - preservation metadata management - preservation planning and action - archival storage and archival packages - acquisition, ingest, and submission packages - long-term access management and dissemination packages - measuring and mediating risks - content-specific approaches (e.g., GIS, digital art, audiovisual, research data, web-based content, models) Innovative practice - implementations - repositories - issues and wins - lessons learned - the future of digital preservation Training and education - educational needs - evaluating curricula and impacts - innovative offerings - support for lifelong learning - career management Program strands iPRES 2015 is being structured around two key strands - research and innovative practice. Papers are invited for both strands. The purpose of this distinction is to promote work from both a research and innovative practice perspective and work that is clearly rooted in the actual experience of institutions undertaking digital preservation. We expect that there will be work that manages to encapsulate both of these strands, and that is welcomed. All papers for iPRES 2015 should: - be leading edge - be innovative - help inform debate around what digital preservation is. Paper types Full and Short papers Full papers (8 to 10 pages) will report research work with novel contributions and/or practical engagement with digital preservation problems that show a demonstrable advance in the practice of digital preservation. Short papers (3 to 5 pages) can focus on new challenges and work in progress, whether in the research or innovative practice strand. All contributions must report on novel and previously unpublished work and will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. A best paper award will be offered and recommended for publication in an appropriate journal. Posters and demonstrations Submissions (up to 2 pages) are encouraged for posters reporting on emerging issues or work in progress, and also for demonstrations of innovative solutions. These submissions should describe the work to be presented and its contribution beyond the state of the art. Posters and demonstrations will be presented in a dedicated session during the conference. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. The accepted poster and demonstration submissions will be published in the proceedings. A best poster award will be offered. Panels Proposals for thematic panels to be held during the main conference program can be submitted by 3 to 5 experts. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal and relevance for the expected audience. Proposals must detail the subject, motivation and panelists. Workshops Proposals for thematic workshops are welcome. Proposals must detail the subject, scope, program strand and intended content. Ideally, workshops should be open to public registration and participation. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal, requirements for its organization, and local capability to support it (which should not be a major constraint). Tutorials Tutorials must be on a single topic, addressed at either an introductory level or an in-depth, expert level. Submissions for tutorials should be a maximum of 2 pages, including a brief abstract and an outline of the content, the duration (half-day 3 hours or full-day 6 hours), a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes, and a short biography of the presenter(s). Peer review and inclusion in iPres 2015 Proceedings All submissions will be subject to peer review. Those that are accepted for inclusion in the conference will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. For full and short papers, the full text will be published. For posters, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials and panels, abstracts will be published. After receiving results of the peer review, authors will have an opportunity to edit their submissions for the final proceedings. In order to ensure inclusion in the proceedings, authors should submit final text by August 15, 2015. Publication and Pre-publication at iPres 2015 iPRES is a venue where individuals from across the globe hash out ideas, share results and propose further actions to address the challenges and opportunities of digital preservation. This year, we would like to take further advantage of these rich exchanges by changing how the final proceedings are published. Participants at the conference will receive full pre-publication drafts of papers and abstracts of workshops, tutorials, panels, posters, and demos. Authors will be encouraged to link their own papers to others, to deal with criticisms or comments received, and to clear up any inaccuracies or misunderstandings. In addition panelists and workshop hosts will be invited to report their sessions more fully, and the program committee will commission a number of thematic syntheses to act as an accessible commentary to the whole conference. Authors will be given a short period after the conference to update their contributions to take account of discussion, debate and conference developments. Please note that pre-conference versions will be published if no revised version is provided. Additional opportunities Submissions are also encouraged for associated activities outside the formal program. Responsibility for planning and management of these would be with the submitting organization.

We know the spring is a very busy time for many of us in the digital preservation community but this is the last extension possible. Please also note that panel, workshop, and tutorial submissions (all require just an abstract) are due May 15th. Key Dates Short and long papers (full text) due - April 29, 2015 (previously April 20, 2015) Panel, workshop, and tutorial submissions (abstract) due - May 15, 2015 Submitters notified of review decisions for papers, panels, workshops and tutorials - June 22, 2015 Poster and demo submissions (abstract) due - June 29, 2015 Conference registration open - June 30, 2015 Submitters notified of review decisions for poster and demos - July 13, 2015 Preview versions of all submissions due, to include in conference participants packet - September 20, 2015 Earlybird registration closes - October 1, 2015 iPRES Conference - November 2-6, 2015 Final versions of conference contributions (including revisions based on conference feedback and activities) due - November 20, 2015 iPRES is the premier international conference on the preservation and long term management of digital materials. The iPRES 2015 will be held on November 2-6, 2015 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Contributions are currently being sought that present research and innovative practice in digital preservation. The iPRES 2015 conference is seeking contributions from research and innovative practice in digital preservation. The conference site is: http://ipres2015.org This call is available at: http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/call-for-contributions/ Author information and guidelines are at: http://ipres2015.web.unc.edu/author-info-guidelines/ Contribution topics We welcome contributions that address at least one of the following topics: Institutional opportunities and challenges - local, regional and national approaches - legislative context and requirements - institutional contexts for preservation - collaboration and alignment - collection content profiling - research data management - personal archiving - documenting authenticity and integrity - demonstrating benefits and incentives - providing and documenting added value - evaluating options: products, tools, registries, services, service providers - exploring the potential of bartering Infrastructure (organizational and technological) opportunities and challenges - bit preservation - scalability - complex formats - large data sets, e.g. web data or research data - system architectures and requirements - distributed and cloud-based implementations - digital forensics - standards-based practice Frameworks for digital preservation - models - standards and practice - core concepts - business models - sustainability and economic viability Preservation strategies and workflows - preservation strategies (e.g., migration, emulation, normalization) - preservation metadata management - preservation planning and action - archival storage and archival packages - acquisition, ingest, and submission packages - long-term access management and dissemination packages - measuring and mediating risks - content-specific approaches (e.g., GIS, digital art, audiovisual, research data, web-based content, models) Innovative practice - implementations - repositories - issues and wins - lessons learned - the future of digital preservation Training and education - educational needs - evaluating curricula and impacts - innovative offerings - support for lifelong learning - career management Program strands iPRES 2015 is being structured around two key strands - research and innovative practice. Papers are invited for both strands. The purpose of this distinction is to promote work from both a research and innovative practice perspective and work that is clearly rooted in the actual experience of institutions undertaking digital preservation. We expect that there will be work that manages to encapsulate both of these strands, and that is welcomed. All papers for iPRES 2015 should: - be leading edge - be innovative - help inform debate around what digital preservation is. Paper types Full and Short papers Full papers (8 to 10 pages) will report research work with novel contributions and/or practical engagement with digital preservation problems that show a demonstrable advance in the practice of digital preservation. Short papers (3 to 5 pages) can focus on new challenges and work in progress, whether in the research or innovative practice strand. All contributions must report on novel and previously unpublished work and will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. The accepted papers will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. A best paper award will be offered and recommended for publication in an appropriate journal. Posters and demonstrations Submissions (up to 2 pages) are encouraged for posters reporting on emerging issues or work in progress, and also for demonstrations of innovative solutions. These submissions should describe the work to be presented and its contribution beyond the state of the art. Posters and demonstrations will be presented in a dedicated session during the conference. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. The accepted poster and demonstration submissions will be published in the proceedings. A best poster award will be offered. Panels Proposals for thematic panels to be held during the main conference program can be submitted by 3 to 5 experts. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal and relevance for the expected audience. Proposals must detail the subject, motivation and panelists. Workshops Proposals for thematic workshops are welcome. Proposals must detail the subject, scope, program strand and intended content. Ideally, workshops should be open to public registration and participation. Acceptance will be judged on the merits of the proposal, requirements for its organization, and local capability to support it (which should not be a major constraint). Tutorials Tutorials must be on a single topic, addressed at either an introductory level or an in-depth, expert level. Submissions for tutorials should be a maximum of 2 pages, including a brief abstract and an outline of the content, the duration (half-day 3 hours or full-day 6 hours), a description of the intended audience and the expected learning outcomes, and a short biography of the presenter(s). Peer review and inclusion in iPres 2015 Proceedings All submissions will be subject to peer review. Those that are accepted for inclusion in the conference will be published in the iPRES 2015 proceedings. For full and short papers, the full text will be published. For posters, demonstrations, workshops, tutorials and panels, abstracts will be published. After receiving results of the peer review, authors will have an opportunity to edit their submissions for the final proceedings. In order to ensure inclusion in the proceedings, authors should submit final text by August 15, 2015. Publication and Pre-publication at iPres 2015 iPRES is a venue where individuals from across the globe hash out ideas, share results and propose further actions to address the challenges and opportunities of digital preservation. This year, we would like to take further advantage of these rich exchanges by changing how the final proceedings are published. Participants at the conference will receive full pre-publication drafts of papers and abstracts of workshops, tutorials, panels, posters, and demos. Authors will be encouraged to link their own papers to others, to deal with criticisms or comments received, and to clear up any inaccuracies or misunderstandings. In addition panelists and workshop hosts will be invited to report their sessions more fully, and the program committee will commission a number of thematic syntheses to act as an accessible commentary to the whole conference. Authors will be given a short period after the conference to update their contributions to take account of discussion, debate and conference developments.
