Best, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jones, Jimi" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, July 20, 2012 4:50 AM Subject: Re: [NDSA-STANDARDS] text for: Please take the NDSA Digital Preservation Staffing Survey Andrea: thank you for putting this email together and sending out the survey. I've sent out the survey to the AMIA and ARSC lists. I see that Linda, Mary and Jennifer have all entered some listservs on our wiki (Andrea's link below). Can you ladies send out the survey and introductory email to these lists and let us know when you've sent them? I'm hoping this will help minimize cross-postings. And please, everyone else, if you can think of places we're missing, feel free to send the survey out and let us know where you sent it. Let's see the responses start rollin' in!

Here's the text to use for the announcement (filling in your name at the bottom). Unless anyone sees anything glaringly wrong in this text we can start announcing it using our compiled list at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=List_of_places/people_we_want_to_receive_the_survey Andrea --------------------------- Organizations establishing or scaling up digital preservation programs are faced with many decisions. How many staff do we need? What types of positions are needed? What skills, education and experience should we be looking for? Should we hire new staff or retrain existing staff? What functions should be scoped as part of the program? What should be provided by other parts of the organization, outsourced or provided through collaboration with other organizations? The National Digital Stewardship Alliance<http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsa/> (NDSA) Standards & Practices Working Group<http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsa/working_groups/standards.html> is conducting a survey of organizations currently responsible for digital preservation to gain insight into how organizations worldwide are addressing these staffing, scoping and organizational questions. Only one response should be submitted per institution. The survey will close on August 17, 2012. To begin click on this link: Start the survey<https://harvard.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bDE8UQ1rK17JHqk> Please email any questions to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> with the subject line Staffing Survey.
