DLF Forum 2016

Presentation 1
Practical Options for Incoming Digital Content
Born-digital materials pose new and complex problems for many special collections and archives. We will share the results of a survey on the selection of practical tools, productive workflows, and recommendations, and ask attendees to share and/or demonstrate practical workflows and tools, and to contribute to the ongoing development of best practices and guidelines.
Presenters: Jody DeRidder, Alissa Helms

Presentation 2
Designing User-Friendly Ingestion Workflows
Developing workflow-friendly bulk ingestion practices for digital repositories can be difficult. At Northeastern University we attempted to ease the pain of bulk ingestion by designing tools and methods that match our community's digital content workflows.
Presenter: Eli Zoller

Snapshot - Library Workflow Exchange: Community Documentation of Best Practices
The Library Workflow Exchange (www.libraryworkflowexchange.org) is a database that gathers and shares workflows and documentation related to digitization, technical services, and cataloging. This snapshot will discuss the community benefits of sharing library workflows and seek feedback from the DLF community to improve the site.

Snapshot - “Does the Research Generate Data?” and Other Ambiguous
The University of Washington Libraries Research Data Services Unit undertook a cross-campus survey of DMPs in order to inform the development of its services. While we ultimately finished with excellent information, the project took significantly longer than we had initially budgeted. Here’s why, and what we’ll do differently next time.
Presenters: Elizabeth Bedford, Greta Pittenger
