What is Digital Curation?
“Digital curation, broadly interpreted, is about maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information for current and future use.”
(A. Gold, 2010, quoting Data Curation Centre, “What is Digital Curation,” 2007; my emphases)
Why does this matter?
Current indicators and future trends point to digital assets management as the future of academic libraries.
Acquisition of hyper-local materials, digitization (ACRL 2010, p. 286)
Crisis in subscription model of scholarly, academic publication (Staley & Malenfant, 2010, p. 18)
Campus-based cyberinfrastructure leads to renewed investment in re-learning (Gold, 2010, p. 14)
What is Digital Curation? Pt. 2
Digital Infrastructure: Institutional Repository“A repository must be necessary to be successful. Context allows both the institution and individuals to see how a repository can support initiatives that are important to them. Creating (or identifying) context is key to both implementation and sustainability.”
(Gilman, 2012)
