This workshop will provide information for institutions that seek to learn more about how to preserve their
Electronic Theses and Dissertations through the newly launched MetaArchive Cooperative-NDLTD
distributed digital preservation network. Instructors will address such topics as: What are academic
institutions currently doing to ensure the long-term availability of their ETDs? What is distributed digital
preservation? How can collaborative partnerships help us to securely preserve our ETDs? What is the
MetaArchive Cooperative and how do its members interact? How can institutions best organize their
ETDs for collection management purposes with preservation issues in mind?
Attendees will leave with an understanding of distributed digital preservation and of the roles they may
play in the NDLTD/MetaArchive preservation solution.
