This presentation communicates the findings of a two-­‐year research project, University Institutional Repositories: Copyright and Long-­‐Term Preservation, that investigates the challenges presented to UIRs by the digital preservation of a multitude of content types, which may include preprints, postprints, electronic theses and dissertations, multimedia presentations, datasets and administrative records, all of which have differing requirements for digital preservation (the specific process of maintaining digital materials during and across different generations of technology over time, irrespective of where they reside).

Diversity addresses issues of inclusivity and the systemic nature of exclusivity in various settings, including the role of archival education in preparing new generations of archival practitioners, educators, and researchers. This article discusses why pluralist approaches might help to achieve greater diversity and cultural sensitivity in practice and scholarship. It addresses three key components of such approaches: identifying ways in which dominant cultural paradigms narrow archival pedagogy and practice; envisioning and exploring alternatives to these paradigms; and developing an archival educational framework to promote a critique of professional and societal norms and include diverse perspectives on archival theory and practice. …


Appraisal Learning Networks: How University Archivists Learn To Appraise Through Social Interaction, Kimberly D. Anderson Jan 2011

Appraisal Learning Networks: How University Archivists Learn To Appraise Through Social Interaction, Kimberly D. Anderson

Kimberly D. Anderson

The appraisal of archival materials for ongoing value is one of the core responsibilities of the archivist, yet empirical research on how archivists learn to appraise is absent from the field. The purpose of this study is to understand how and when archivists learn to appraise and to devise a methodology for further studies in archival learning and knowledge transmission. It was hypothesized that the appraisal learning (continuing and formal) structures of university archivists can be understood as a network of relationships that demonstrates lineages of ideas and influences. The study employed an iterative process in which exploratory research and …


Permission To Preserve?: University Institutional Repositories, Copyright And Digital Preservation, Harrison W. Inefuku, Elizabeth Shaffer Jan 2011

Permission To Preserve?: University Institutional Repositories, Copyright And Digital Preservation, Harrison W. Inefuku, Elizabeth Shaffer

Harrison W. Inefuku

University Institutional Repositories (UIRs) have been developed to provide access to and preserve the scholarly output of their host institutions. To date, much research has been conducted that explores the benefits of UIRs in terms of scholarly communication and open access. However, there is a paucity of research that investigates requirements for digital preservation, as well as the implications of intellectual property legislation on requirements for preservation and accessibility. This poster communicates the findings of a two-year research project that investigates the challenges presented by the digital preservation of a multitude of content types, which may include preprints, postprints, electronic …
