Standards and Practices October 11 meeting. * Today is a federal holiday in the United States. If you have the federal holiday off, enjoy! * Knowing that some of our regulars have a holiday, I had planned for an informal meeting. That works out now since something has come up and I cannot attend. * Here are some follow-up activities you can do during the meeting slot! Feel free to log into Zoom and to say “hi” to anyone else who gives it a try. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DiA-eN2lvipwa_nYGUcBYctt_n2vFJdL9X-j67T5FHs/edit#heading=h.6nml4myroi8f To do: 1. At our September meeting, we agreed that a list of Standards and Practices members and participants list would be useful. Please add your name and information. This will support our networking goal, and give information about areas of interest, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14b6l4KO7ue7nN6k1thrf_G1PL3ROlayilA3JRHULZ5Q/edit#gid=0 1. Review the Best Practices and Standards spreadsheet. Add additional information. We started this a year or two ago. It might be something we could look at further developing in 2022. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ewd8RoRWvA7Ex8D3UHfkAtQQt3YwnuD2qzRRAasHxIE/edit#gid=1174975977 1. Review the Levels of Digital Preservation. Think about: what standards and best practice support each area and level? This is a future discussion topic. https://ndsa.org/publications/levels-of-digital-preservation/ 1. Policy/Guidelines template. We worked on this in spring and summer. If you haven’t looked at it, please do. Send me comments. (I think we should add the sources to the document. As a courtesy, should we tell the originating institutions that we took information from their documents?) https://docs.google.com/document/d/10dBUw33Ru3VCwjSrGhiqWPVtkDWb0dchZsAdl8cxbiQ/edit# Looking ahead: November meeting – November 8, 2021 * Reports and discussion of sessions of the NDSA Digital Preservation Conference (November 4) and the DLF Forum (November 1-3).
