The number of projects and institutions providing training on digital preservation has increased dramatically in recent years, resulting in a vast and often overwhelming number of courses for potential attendees to choose from. As UK and EU projects such as DCC, DPE, CASPAR and PLANETS begin to finalise their own overall training plans, it is clear that increased collaboration is needed in order to establish a more co-ordinated approach.
Running from 11.00am to 4.00pm, this practical tutorial provided a contextual overview of the need for an evidence-based evaluation of digital repositories and offered an overview of the DCC pilot audits to date. The tutorial then moved on to demonstrate how institutions can make use of the DRAMBORA toolkit to design, develop, evaluate, and refine new or existing trusted digital repository systems and workflows. This involved a walk-through of the criteria checklist with practical examples based on the pilot audits.
As the LOCKSS Pilot Programme draws to an end, participants gathered together at this workshop to discuss their experiences, lessons learnt, and ways in which the UK community can move forward. See the full programme [PDF, 42KB]
Following our DCC workshop on Developing an International Curation and Preservation Training and Education Roadmap held in May 2008 in Washington D.C., a working group has been set up to identify opportunities to progress international data curation training and education development. The goal of this one-day workshop was to advance the identification of core educational requirements based on the initial work done by Professor Helen Tibbo and her team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
