This report is produced by the Long Term Digital Asset Management Working Group, formed in 2016 for the purpose of examining the state of digital preservation on campus, identifying gaps, and recommending next steps. The workgroup is composed of librarians and DoIT IT staff experts in the areas of storage, preservation, data management, and data curation. The report presents a brief case for digital preservation, based on the information collected to date.
