eSPIDA: An effective Strategic model for the Preservation & disposal of Institutional Digital Assets
This two-year project seeks to develop and implement a sustainable business
focused model for digital preservation, as part of a knowledge management
agenda in higher education institutions. It will develop a model of the
relationships, roles and responsibilities, costs, benefits and risks
inherent in institutional digital preservation and implement this model by
selling it to all the stakeholder groups, including senior management,
administrative and clerical staff and academic teachers and researchers. In
particular, this project seeks to identify the cost and benefits to the
institution of developing a coherent, managed and sustainable approach to
the preservation of its digital assets in a way that is transparent to all
stakeholders.
The project has completed and the following deliverables are available:
1)
