Title A name given to the resource Your Personal Archiving Project: Where Do You Start? Subject The topic of the resource Personal Archives Description An account of the resource This resource from the Library of Congress, a well-trusted and respected organization, is a valuable one to share. The message of this article is to those who archive, and, as the article states, everyone does eventually have to deal with archiving information at some point. Ashenfelder provides an easy to understand and relatable discussion on archiving and how to go about understanding it. He discusses concepts such as clumps, work time, and work space, providing somewhat of a plan for those being introduced to the archiving process. Ashenfelder also provides information on different types of media and how archiving changes for each of these mediums. The quest to simplify and emphasize the use of digital archives is what will progress the field of digital archiving into the future, and through the content of the article it is clear that Ashenfelder and the Library of Congress encourages such evolution of technology. I think this resource is both well-worded and well-researched. Ashenfelder provides external discussion on archiving through the interviews and discussions with experts such as Kells and McAleer which strengthens the reader’s understanding of archiving. With less technical and more relative information, this is a very good resource for those starting out with archiving, either in their personal lives or their studies on the subject.

Title A name given to the resource Without the Data the Tools are Useless; Without the Software, the Data is Unmanageable Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource In this article, Michael Moss archivist and professor of Library and Information Science at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, decries the user-centered philosophy of Web 2.0 and believes the emphases on “collective intelligence” and “lightweight user interfaces” challenge the integrity of records and are responsible for critical losses of data and the current global financial crisis. He believes data is being compromised by such Web 2.0 technologies as anonymous tagging and blogs, and advocates a return to traditional archival principles, including “authenticity, integrity, and trust.” Moss cites historic cases in which archives were used to defend the public’s right to know in opposition to executive power. From England’s Civil War in the 1660s to illegal arms contracting between the Syrian government and BAE System (a London-based global company marketing defense, aerospace, and security service), Moss defends the archive’s objectivity and commitment to preserving the authenticity and integrity of its records. Without traditional archival values and methods, information exposing injustices would be lost. Moss is not recommending a return to manual forms of record keeping whereby several levels of staff would check and cross-reference each other’s work. He does propose, however, a coordinated effort among IT managers, record keepers, and archivists, to control the classification and dissemination of data through greater focus on content. Moreover, by encouraging archivists to embrace their “fiduciary responsibilities” (serving public institutions with practiced objectivity and authority), the public is protected from lax accounting or illegal actions perpetuated by unrestricted, open-access digital commerce. Abstract A summary of the resource. This essay explores the relationship between the curation of information in the digital environment by archivists and records managers and the technologies that support it. The author argues that this will require a sharing of responsibility within a framework of trust. He maintains that a consequence of the financial crisis, in which technology has played a large contributing part, is that there will be a greater emphasis on transparency of electronic processes and not just inputs and outputs. In these developments, he draws a distinction between records management operating within an institutional framework of risk, and the archive, particularly in the public sector, curating the records that will allow the executive to be brought to account. He concludes that such a restatement in a period of severe financial restraint will without doubt impact on the current ‘access’ agenda.

Instructional Method will typically include ways of presenting instructional materials or conducting instructional activities, patterns of learner-to-learner and learner-to-instructor interactions, and mechanisms by which group and individual levels of learning are measured. Instructional methods include all aspects of the instruction and learning processes from planning and implementation through evaluation and feedback. Moss cautions archivists against uncritically integrating Web 2.0 technologies into archival practices. Social networking applications, such as blogs and wikis alter the principles of authority, privacy, and trust between the archive and the record, and the between the archivist and the public. Traditional practices, including formal documentation and file plans for ingested materials, are just as critical, if not more so, in the digital archive. archive practices digital technologies open access web archiving http://dar.cah.ucf.edu/files/original/1ff0c63400ed653a5f1d26f8cf9569d8.png 751b55e718c2c5c208f8425a15a925e3 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Title A name given to the resource Why Digital Preservation is Important for Everyone Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource Traditional information sources such as books, photos and sculptures can easily survive for years, decades or even centuries but digital items are fragile and require special care to keep them useable. Rapid technological changes also affect digital preservation. As new technologies appear, older ones become obsolete, making it difficult to access older content. This video briefly explains why digital preservation is important for both the private individual and the public cultural heritage institution. Digital content is defined as encoded content represented as text, images, audio recordings and other formats accessible only through computer technology. Preserving digital content for the future so that it is both usable and accessible is challenging for large institutions as well as for individuals. The narrator identifies human error and technological obsolescence as major challenges, and reviews essential preservation strategies to counteract these threats to preservation. He reiterates digital items are extremely fragile, and cautions that special care is needed to keep these items usable. Digital items are also dependent upon technology; again, requiring strategic solutions to maintain availability.

Subject The topic of the resource Copyright Description An account of the resource This journal explains how social scientists are becoming encouraged to locate, access, and analyze data from data archives worldwide. It talks about how the vast majority of data archives which service the research community deal exclusively with the storage and provision of quantitative data. It explains how facilities exist for the deposit and reuse of qualitative data. In the journal, it brings up a point of how archiving is generally understood as relatively unproblematic by the quantitative research community. There is much concern stems from the assumption that qualitative data are similar to and may, therefore, be treated in the same way as quantitative data. A discussion is made about the arching of qualitative data raises a distinct set of issues surrounding confidentiality, respondent and researcher anonymity, and respondent consent. There is examination of the practical, legal and ethical issues which may affect the archiving of qualitative research data, which in doing so it reflects on the viability of using qualitative data for theoretical and substantive secondary analysis. There is an importance of drawing on the experience of other disciplines. This journal article is useful to showcase the different aspects of the practical, legal, and ethical issues in archiving qualitative research data. There is much explanation in this journal article of why data archives worldwide are being search by social scientists.

Title A name given to the resource What Not To Save: The Future of Ephemera Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource In her presentation to the 2009 Media in Transition 6 Conference, Alison Byerly appeals to scholars of all disciplines to take an interest in web archiving and preserve the born digital byproducts of their daily online transactions. Byerly persuasively recounts reasons for valuing ephemera—accidental and unfiltered byproducts of daily life and work— and observes ephemera's unique status in the archive. She describes the accessioning and description of ephemera collections as a combination of professionalism and individual whimsy. These unofficial, curious remnants of the past provide rich historical context, even if they arrive without detailed documentation. In contrast to digital ephemera (such as popups and spam email) with their perceived lack of value and ease of disposal, print ephemera afford the fixity of time and distanced perspective that promote intellectual discovery. She avers that potential social and historical significance of electronic ephemera requires our recognition of its value and encourages individual as well as institutional acts of digital preservation. By enlisting all Internet users to preserve digital content they deem meaningful, Byerly believes the individual tastes and cultural oddities of this era may avoid becoming forgotten in the wake of impersonal, algorithmic-based search engines favoring a limited representation of digital content.
