15. Born Digital:An Archival Approach
16. AssumptionsThe average research library has made limited progress with born- digital materials beyond IRs.Archivists can and should be major players in digital library development.Archival approaches to date have focused on complex solutions.Resources are very limited.Most institutions need a “baby steps” approach to get started.
17. Taking Our Pulse: The OCLC Research Survey of Special Collections and Archives<http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2010/2010-11.pdf>
18. Among our key U.S./Canada findings …“Your three most challenging issues”SpaceBorn-digital materialsDigitizationTough economy renders “business as usual” impossible; 75% of library budgets diminished-----Survey population: 275 research libraries in U.S. and Canada
19. Top education and training needsBorn-digital materials: 83%Information technology: 65%Intellectual property: 56%Cataloging and metadata: 51%
20. Born-digital archival materialsDigital materials currently held by: 79%Holdings reported by: 35%Percent held by top two libraries: 51%Percent held by top 13 libraries: 93%Assignment of responsibility for born-digital management made by: 55%We conclude that collecting is generally reactive, sporadic, limited.

23. Our born-digital special collections project
24. Why this project?Majority of research libraries have yet to take even baby steps in born-digital management.Majority of archivists have yet to take action because they think they don’t know enough, don’t have specialized resources, are generally intimidated, need guidance on how to conquer fear and take initial steps.Research library directors often don’t know how/why archivists’ skills and expertise are broadly relevant to library-wide management of digital library content.
25. ObjectivesExplore where “special collections and archives” intersect with “born digital” and “digital library”Articulate the relevant skills and expertise held by archivistsDescribe how these pertain to various types of born-digital materialOutline “baby steps” to begin preserving physical media
