Digital Preservation Tools for Repository Managers 1: organisational issues

The 5-module JISC KeepIt course on Digital Preservation Tools for Repository Managers was designed by repository managers. Each module consists of a mix of short presentations and hands-on exercises to learn about the basics and gain practice with each of the tools covered. Module 1 covers organisational issues such as scoping the repository, selection, assessment and institutional parameters. Tools include the Data Asset Framework (DAF) for scoping data content for institutional repositories, and the AIDA toolkit for assessing institutional capabilities to support digital asset management. Materials here include presentations on these tools, also on how the DAF was used to scope data types in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Southampton, and an introduction to the module. Details of the exercises are provided, so the full course module can be experienced by other users
