Items from the Newsletter include:
- Key outcomes of the NDIIPP program are to identify priorities for born digital collections and engage organizations committed to preserving digital content.
- Viewshare is being used for the collections
- Floppy Disks are Dead, Long Live Floppy Disks
- Floppy disks are fragile constructions that were never designed for permanence.
- Difficult to determine what is on the floppy and to recover
- A floppy disk controller called Catweasel allows computers to access a wide variety of older disk formats (must have the floppy drive).
- Web archiving.
- Because of the scope of the web sites, consider partnering with other institutions.
- Preservation of and Access to Federally Funded Scientific Data
- Research data produced by federally funded scientific projects should be freely available to the wider research community and the public
- Public data should be a public resource, and data sharing supports core scientific values like openness, transparency, and replication.
- Lack of resources for curating scientific data and a lingering tradition of data hoarding create resistance to open access to research data.
