We talked about what was discussed at the breakout table at the July workshop, and really the need is to understand what is at risk in this area. More granularity with local government information categories is needed, there are different issues depending on the local environment. We talked about a survey, that might be useful to get a sense of some of the issues, and whether the states are providing any guidance to local governments about preservation and retention of digital information. Who is thinking about these issues at the state and local levels, and what's being done. Margie pointed out there are existing surveys that have been done; maybe a compilation of those into a list to share with others would be useful. We could capture information and promote as a part of NDSA. Registry Action Team Kris and Abbie reported on a call a few weeks back about the survey results and a discussion about the ALA definitions and self assessment. Kris is working on a document to help participants with the self assessment, to describe the various levels and what we mean by them. Clearinghouse Action Team No updates from this team. Blog Preservation Action Team Kristine and Abbie are hoping to meet soon with a contact at WordPress about a blog preservation plugin. They will report back once that meeting occurs. Web Archiving Survey Abbie is still working on the survey. Comments still welcome - the draft is posted to the wiki. She hopes to get it out by the end of September. Misc. Joel noted that selection issues kept coming up at the July meetings. When we talk about priorities and things at risk, it's also important to talk about value - what is extremely important to save. This needs to be in the mix, we should continue to keep thinking with this perspective in mind. All agreed that it would be useful to weave this notion into all of our CWG work. We talked a bit about how we might open up the dialog about value with others outside our community, generate input. Cathy suggested a blog post for the NDIIPP blog to talk about selection and value. Joel and Kristine agreed to work on this jointly. Abbie can be the liaison with the blog team at LC; they welcome ideas and contributions from NDSA members. Post should be 500-800 words. Next Meeting Our next call will be October 5 at 11am EST. Agenda and call details to be sent a few days prior. -End- ############################ To unsubscribe from the NDSA-CONTENT list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-DIGITAL.EXE?SUBED1=NDSA-CONTENT&A=1
