Sustainability and Digital Preservation

Abstract

Technology, such as Ex Libris’s Rosetta digital preservation system, is an important part of digital preservation. However, it is but one part. Other aspects include policies, procedures, and financial planning. These administrative issues need to be in place to help assure long-term sustainability of any digital preservation program. This presentation will discuss ways in which Binghamton University is preparing sustainable digital preservation. Examples include ensuring that there are sustainable funding streams and administrative policies and procedures in place for long term digital preservation.
