https://doi.org/10.5860/lrts.55n2.104Abstract
Recognizing the need for guiding the management and preservation of Michigan State University’s digital assets, a team led by university archivists and librarians conducted a digital curation planning project to explore and evaluate existing digital content and curation practices. The team used data gathered in this study to identify next steps in digital curation planning, including the recommendation to collaborate with other universities to develop solutions. While the findings were specific to Michigan State University, the process of assessing practices and identifying needs may be replicated elsewhere.
