			==SAA 2014 Research Forum Poster ACCEPTED==
			Title: From Theory to Action: A Pragmatic Approach to Digital Preservation Strategies and Tools

			Abstract: This poster communicates findings from DigitalPOWRR, or, Preserving (digital) Objects with Restricted Resources (http://digitalpowrr.niu.edu), a three-year project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Two members of this team presented the project status at the 2013 SAA Annual Meeting at a point when we had finished a high-level survey of available preservation tools and a study of our campus digital object creation practices. At that time we were beginning our in-depth tool testing phase and digital preservation planning process. This poster summarize our findings presented to the IMLS including our assessment of the tools we tested and the processes that our project members recommend given their distinctive institutional needs. Highlights include practical actions and affordable products that any digital object manager may implement to ensure long term accessibility of their collections.
			Conference attendees facing digital preservation challenges in repositories that lack technical support and/or funds to procure commercial services will benefit from the findings of the DigitalPOWRR project.

			Presented by Meg Miner, University Archivist, Illinois Wesleyan University

			==MAC 2013 Workshop ACCEPTED==
			Title: From Theory to Action: A Pragmatic Approach to Digital Preservation Tools & Strategies

			Abstract: This workshop was created as a result of an IMLS-funded study on identifying practical digital preservation solutions for small- and mid-sized libraries: Digital POWRR (Preserving digital Objects With Restricted Resources; http://digitalpowrr.niu.edu). Attendees will receive instruction in a variety of digital preservation tools and services and will create strategies for building institutional awareness around the need for a digital preservation program using pre-made, adaptable communications plans. Workstations will be provided for participants to receive hands on experience with selected tools. Resources for further tool explorations, sample digital preservation policies, and other supporting material will be provided.

			The purpose of this workshop is to provide attendees with a level of comfort with the tools demonstrated and to come away with a plan of action for engaging others at their host institution.

			Intended Audience: Practitioners from small and mid-sized institutions possessing an introductory knowledge of digital preservation issues, such as those outlined in the Library of Congress's Digital Preservation Outreach & Education Curriculum (http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/education/curriculum.html), and with a responsibility for digital objects at their institution. We will not be addressing the “why” of digital preservation; rather, we are preparing for the “how.”

			Title: From Theory to Action: A Pragmatic Approach to Digital Preservation Tools & Strategies
			Sponsorship: none at this time
			Presenters: Lynne M. Thomas, Curator, Rare Books and Special Collections, Northern Illinois University (lmthomas@niu.edu, 815-753-0255, Rare Books and Special Collections, Founders Memorial Library 402, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115). Aaisha Haykal, University Archivist, Chicago State University (ahaykal@csu.edu, 773-995-3843 Chicago State University Library, 9501 South King Drive, Chicago, IL 60628-1598)

			This full-day workshop was created as a result of an IMLS-funded study (Digital POWRR, http://digitalpowrr.niu.edu)
			on identifying practical digital preservation solutions for small- and mid-sized libraries. Practitioners from small and mid-sized institutions possessing an introductory knowledge of digital preservation issues, such as those outlined in the Library of Congress's Digital Preservation Outreach & Education Curriculum (http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/education/curriculum.html), and with responsibility for digital objects at their institution are our target audience.

			We will not be addressing the “why” of digital preservation; rather, we are preparing for the “how.”

			Outcomes: Workshop participants will walk away with:

			1) A high-level understanding at the types of digital preservation tools and services available and how their functionalities map to the digital preservation lifecycle.
			2) Additional experience with specific tools, found to work well for practitioners coming from institutions with fewer resources.
			3) A Demonstration of how the processes described in the OCLC report “Walk this Way” actually work
			using selected tools to demystify the processes.
			4) Hands on experience with certain tools, during all breaks, break-out sessions, etc. on 2-3 provided workstations, with a workshop leader on hand to answer questions and provide guidance.
			5) A chance to identify the key stakeholders (academic administrators, content creators, business administrators, information management professionals, and IT administrators) within an institution that should be
			involved in their planning process, how to best approach them, and possible strategies for increasing their level of awareness.
			6) An opportunity to create a timeline and plan of action for establishing communication with key stakeholders.
			I look forward to any feedback you might have on this proposal.

	The poster will address the project’s aim as a whole (where the grant is as it ends its first-year and where it aims to go in the second-year); and highlight the work and findings at one partner institution: Chicago State University. Graphs will be used to show how staff and faculty are preserving their data on campus currently; and how confident or not confident they are that their data will be accessible in the future. Audiences will obtain the latest information on methods and tools to process digital material. The main focus of year-one of the project was to increase awareness of digital preservation on campus, which will be evaluated by the quantity of interviews and demonstrations/workshops that have been done on the respective partner campuses.
