The LOCKSS Technical Support Service held a one day training workshop for the LOCKSS Pilot Programme at HATII, University of Glasgow. This workshop covered interactions with the LOCKSS system, examined available content and the circumstances under which this content can be cached and used, and provided an overview of the programme plan for the remainder of the project.

Institutional websites have become an increasingly integral tool for disseminating key institutional information and for promoting institutional identities to the general public. The long-term survival, value, and usability of the information presented via institutional websites depends on numerous criteria such as the formats and codes selected for presentation, the capture and binding of associated metadata, the identification of the web resources, and the perceived quality of the web resources among current and future users.
The increasing use of e-mail has drastically changed the way that many organisations work. To provide evidential value and to ensure legal compliance, it is essential that traditional record-keeping practices are applied to the management and preservation of e-mails. This often requires a cultural change in organisational practices, which can be exceedingly difficult to implement. In addition, there are a range of technical issues that can impact the long-term viability and re-usability of e-mails.
In conjunction with JISC, we held a programme kick-off meeting at Scarman House, Warwick Conference Centre, to launch the UK LOCKSS Pilot.
