When it comes to developing a long-term digital preservation program, knowledge is power. That is why BCR and LYRASIS have partnered to bring you the Staying on TRAC: Digital Preservation Implications & Solutions for Collaboratives (formerly the Digital Preservation for Digital Collaboratives Workshop).
Using CRL/OCLC Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification: Criteria and Checklist (TRAC) as the foundation, the workshop will provide you with the information and tools you need to plan, assess, and outline a digital preservation plan for sustaining collaboratively generated digital content.
Workshop attendees will explore implemented solutions including ExLibris' Rosetta, OCLC's Digital Archive, Tessella's Safety Deposit Box, Chronopolis from University of California San Diego, Educopia Institute's MetaArchive, and DAITTS from Florida Center for Library Automation.

2nd webinar, July 14, 1-3 pm ET:
