Trends in archives practice ; modules 14-16

"The continuity of practice between the acquisition of traditional materials and digital content is addressed in the three modules that comprise Appraisal and Acquisition Strategies, the sixth volumes in the series Trends in Archives Practice. The differences lie in the skills, knowledge, and tools required to identify potential preservation and access issues. By making good implementation decisions, your archives can ensure that digital materials are transferred in a manner that maintains their authenticity, integrity, and security. Module 14: Appraising Digital Records by Geof Huth Provides practical tools and resources for conducting and documenting an appraisal of digital records. Module 15: Collecting Digital Manuscripts and Archives by Megan Barnard and Gabriela Redwine Demonstrates how to integrate digital archives and manuscripts into collection development policies and strategies, build strong relationships with creators and colleagues, appraise born-digital materials prior to an acquisition, and prepare for the challenges of collecting digital manuscripts and archives. Module 16: Accessioning Digital Archives by Erin Faulder Presents digital preservation best practices and standards for developing policies, procedures, and infrastructure to accession born-digital materials."-- Provided by publisher.
