DESCRIPTION
To ensure digital scholarly content in all formats remains available to future users, all organizations involved in scholarly production and dissemination have a role to take in digital preservation. This webinar will introduce a draft of the NASIG Digital Preservation Model Policy as it moves into the comment and revision stage of development. This evolving policy, designed as a tool to publicize, measure, and grow your organization’s commitment to the preservation of its scholarly assets, includes identifying first step initiatives, activities emerging in the field, and opportunities to share and refine professional experiences. Whether your organization has an active program or hasn’t yet taken measures to identify at-risk resources, this is an opportunity to learn, share, and strengthen future commitment. This event will prepare you to participate in submitting comments and provide valued feedback about how your organization’s unique needs fit with this model policy development.
The webinar is free and will take place on 16 September 2021, 2 pm Eastern
The policy is available for public comment from August to November 30, 2021. To download the draft document, visit
