Please note there will NOT be laptops available. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops for the workshop. This is a paid pre-conference workshop that you must
register for.
The UMDCC Born Digital Access Bootcamp will focus on building strategies to provide access to born-digital material.
Designed as an opportunity for practitioners and beginners to learn from one another, the workshop will take a collaborative approach with group discussions on relevant topics guided by workshop facilitators, followed by hands-on demonstrations of born-digital access systems and breakout discussion sessions.
Topics will be selected through surveying workshop participants and through forum discussion, but will ultimately address how policies, copyright/risk assessment, user needs, reference interactions, processing workflows, donor relations, advocacy, and other archival functions affect how, when, and what we provide access to, with an emphasis on user-driven access throughout.
