The session brings together updates on activities that are key to supporting digital preservation in areas relevant to the future of research libraries. It begins with presentations on the IMLS-funded ‘Beyond the Repository’ and on the transition to the ISSN International Centre of the Keepers Registry for archived digital content issued serially (e-journals and other continuing resources). These will be followed by lightning talks with updates on the Digital Preservation Storage Criteria, developments in the Software Preservation Network (related to virtualization and emulation as methods for enduring access to digital content), the new version of the NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation, and the recently published Library of Congress Digital Content Management Compendium.

Webrecorder, Web Archiving for All: Past, Present and Future

Ilya Kreymer
Webrecorder Lead Developer
Rhizome/Webrecorder

Over the past several years, the Webrecorder project demonstrated a user-focused, smaller-scale approach to web archiving, prioritizing user experience and quality over quantity. This presentation will provide a broad overview and briefing on the Webrecorder project’s software and tools developed over the last several years and a glimpse of what’s next. Topics will include an intro to high-fidelity user-driven web archiving, the intersection of software preservation and web archives with web browser preservation, approaches to automating capture of complex sites, desktop apps for do-it-yourself web archiving, and new research in web archive replay technology that could enable better integration of web archives into existing digital repository and scholarly publishing workflows. The presentation will include lessons learned and focus on approaches for making web archiving more accessible, reliable and less expensive for a wide variety of institutional and individual users, especially those interested in stewarding their own web archive data.

When Research Data Requires Controls: Institutional Support for Regulated Research Environments

Jeremy Frumkin
Executive Director, Research Technologies
University of Arizona

The rapid growth and adoption of data science approaches to research bring new challenges and opportunities for managing research data. Interestingly, while there is a great deal of attention being paid towards open access of research outputs, and federal funding agencies (as well as other funders) are increasingly adopting open access requirements for scholarly and data outputs, at the same time many federal funding agencies are also beginning to require new controls for research data, and universities are taking more seriously the need to manage their institutional risk by providing institutional support for long-standing data control standards (such as HIPAA), as well as developing support for newer control standards (such as CUI – controlled, unclassified information). This case study will describe how the University of Arizona has approached supporting research data that requires controls, including successes and lessons learned, and will conclude with thoughts towards future opportunities and challenges both for research computing units and academic libraries.
