Managing Born-Digital Content Received on Physical Media

In this video, OCLC Research Senior Program Officer Ricky Erway describes her new report, "You've Got to Walk Before You Can Run: First Steps for Managing Born-Digital Content Received on Physical Media." The report errs on the side of simplicity and describes what is truly necessary to start managing born-digital content on physical media. It presents a list of the basic steps without expanding on archival theory or the use of particular software tools. It does not assume that policies are in place or that those performing the tasks are familiar with traditional archival practices, nor does it assume that significant IT support is available.
