About

The skills associated with delivering a digital preservation programme in both public and private sector organisations are increasingly in demand with the realisation that digital information is an asset that needs to be carefully managed to ensure ongoing access and use over the long-term. Aberystwyth University offers the Digital Preservation Workplace Case study programme.

Overview

Key facts

Additionally, the requirements of legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulations, Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts, and guidelines such as the UK Research and Innovation’s Common Principles on Data Policy have put the emphasis on procedural accountability, requiring organisations to address the effective management of their digital information.

Aberystwyth University's Digital Preservation Workplace Case study is a practical portfolio-based course that will help you to apply pre-existing theoretical knowledge of best practice in digital preservation to the reality of assessing the practical needs of an organisation and implementing effective change. It provides the opportunity to review an organisation in detail, judge how well it manages its data, and develop ideas for introducing or improving a digital preservation framework.

Programme Structure

You will be asked to look at an organisation’s practices, to understand the dimensions of its digital preservation challenge, assess how ready it is to undertake digital preservation and how far it has reached along the journey in implementing digital preservation by benchmarking an organisation’s policies and processes against prominent models.
