The following announcement from OCLC invites you to attend an ALA update on a pilot project related to digital archiving. GPO has worked with OCLC on its early stages, as mentioned at several FLICC and FEDLINK meetings recently. Others are now joining the pilot. - Lynn McDonald, FEDLINK, [log in to unmask] or 202-707-4832
OCLC is pleased to present the OCLC Web Document Preservation Repository Pilot on Monday, June 18, 2:00 * 3:30 pm at the Marriott Hotel in the Moscone Center, Room 228.
The pilot is the first step in OCLC*s strategic initiative to build a digital archive and tools for the management of digital collections. The completed service will facilitate capture of web-based documents, creation of preservation metadata for digital objects, ingest of objects into the repository, and long -term retention of these digital information assets. Pilot participants such as the Government Printing Office and several state libraries are evaluating a CORC- based interface for creation of preservation metadata. Participants also provide OCLC with preservation metadata input, workflow expertise, and real-world expectations for the digital archive.
