Truly a Digital Repositories 101 course! Participate in knowledge-building discussions and activities that focus on defining, selecting, and implementing digital repositories (DRs) as well as a review of basic decisions that must be made before and during the development of a digital collection and digital repository program. The instructors address the role of the archivist in DR construction and deployment; the standards, best practices, and realities of content and metadata deposit; the strategies for developing administrative structures; policies; the long-term preservation concerns; and marketing your repository.

Interactive activities throughout the seminar lead to a better understanding of your local institution and to a roadmap for program development.

Upon Completion of this course you’ll be able to:

  • Explain the basic decisions underlying the development of a digital repository program;
  • Differentiate between the components necessary to implement a viable digital repository service;
  • Evaluate existing and proposed repository initiatives at your local institutions for identified elements of a successful deployment;
  • Reference existing digital repositories and the characteristics they illustrate;
  • Identify areas in which you might build your knowledge base and/or skill sets to meet the needs of a digital repository program; and
