Event: DPC/RSP/DCC/JISC Workshop. Tackling the Preservation Challenge:
Practical Steps for Repository Managers

Date: 12th December 2008

Venue: Novotel Hotel, Euston Road, London

We all know that preservation of repository content is vital -- but we
also know that in practical terms it remains largely unresolved.  What
should we be doing right now to embed preservation into the working
practice of repositories?  Who should we be talking to? 

Are there tools and services out there which can support repository
managers in their work today?  Are preservation experts and services
tuned into the practical workflow requirements of their repository
manager colleagues?  If this has any resonance then this event is for
you! 

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), the Repositories Support
Project (RSP), the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and the JISC are
organising a joint workshop on the 12th December at the Novotel Hotel,
Euston, London. The intention is to bring together key stakeholders, the
repository managers and preservation experts, at a practical focussed
event to talk together and share perspectives, requirements, problems
and solutions.  It is hoped that the workshop will lead to collective
recommendations for what the next moves for repository managers and
preservation specialists should be to provide practical focussed
support, services and tools. The workshop should in addition further
repository managers' understanding of how to implement preservation
strategies and processes.

As well as the formal presentations there will also be a marketplace
when there will be an opportunity to view posters, and engage with
project teams and see demonstrations of the latest tools. The day will
close with a participative discussion session. 

Prior to the event the organisers shall gather concerns and requirements
from repository managers and preservation experts/services and
synthesise these into 'Top 5 Concerns', 'Top 5 Wishes' and 'Top 5
Solutions' (for practical implementation). These will then be collated
to form the basis for the panel discussion.

Who should attend?

Repository managers, librarians, archivists, digital preservation
experts, information management specialists, service providers.
