Following the success of our webinar series earlier this year, the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is pleased to invite members to take part in not one but two new webinar series in the New Year. A second series of 'Technology Bytes' webinars and a new series on ‘Digital Preservation in Action’ will offer a deep dive into some of the available tools, techniques and their practical application in real organisations.
Both series will provide an opportunity understand the strengths of some of the newest tools and innovations available, how these might be best applied to digital preservation in practice, as well as providing a platform for members to voice their needs and concerns directly to representatives of a wide range of tool developers and providers.
The webinars will interest:
- Collections managers, librarians, curators and archivists in all institutions
- IT managers and procurement managers in memory institutions
- Records managers in institutions with a need for long-lived data
- CIOs and CTOs in organisations with commercial intellectual property
- Vendors and developers with digital preservation solutions
- Researchers with interests in research data management
The webinars start in January 2015 and will take place every two weeks until April, as follows*:
