This workshop will focus on building strategies to providing access to born-digital material.
Designed as an opportunity for practitioners and beginners to learn from one another, the workshop will take a collaborative approach with a session of lecture and group discussions on relevant topics guided by workshop facilitators, followed by a hands-on session with demonstrations of born-digital access systems and breakout discussion sessions.
The bootcamp will address how policies, copyright/risk assessment, user needs, reference interactions, processing workflows, donor relations, and other archival functions affect how, when, and what we provide access to, with an emphasis on user-driven access throughout.
Facilitated by Rachel Appel (Temple University), Alison Clemens (Yale University), and Gregory Wiedeman (University at Albany).
