This announcement is from the NDSA Staffing Survey Working Group. Please excuse the cross-postings.
Does your organization manage and preserve digital content? If so, the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) is interested in hearing from you!
NDSA is conducting a survey of institutions with digital preservation responsibilities to gain insight into how organizations worldwide are addressing digital preservation staffing, scoping and structural questions. The results of this survey will build on the knowledge gained through a similar 2012 survey and published in the 2013 NDSA Report: Staffing for Effective Digital Preservation. A new report will be forthcoming with the new data collected.
The survey is available at https://duke.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3dWhOx9jWCIZsNv until April 10, 2017. Please coordinate one response per institution. You will find a link to a Microsoft Word version of the questionnaire on the first screen if you would like to preview the questions.
Thank you for helping NDSA and our community define and advance digital preservation!
Thanks to Marlene Harmon, Reference Librarian, UC Berkeley School of Law Library, for this announcement. Please excuse the cross postings.
The problem of “link rot” in U.S. Supreme Court web citations is well known. The UC Berkeley School of Law Library has partnered with application developer Philip Ardery to address this problem by hosting U.S. Supreme Court Web Citations, a web service that captures snapshots of any web resource cited by the United States Supreme Court immediately after their opinions are issued. The goal of the service is to leverage current web and archiving technologies to minimize the link rot that complicates research as websites change or become unavailable over time.
We invite you to explore the tool and share it with your colleagues who may benefit from it. You can also subscribe to receive updates.
Contact Michael Lindsey, UC Berkeley Law Library’s Director of Library Web Development for additional information.
