One of the challenges of working in a dynamic and evolving field such as digital preservation is the sheer volume of relevant papers and articles that are published every year. It can be a huge challenge for those of us working in this field to find out about these publications, let alone find the time to read them and absorb the contents.
The DPC Reading Club is here to help you with this challenge! It will not only signpost you to some interesting reading but also provides a place for a friendly chat about the text with other members of the community.
The DPC Reading Club is an informal networking event for DPC Members to share their thoughts and observations on popular and emerging topics in digital preservation.
In our second DPC Reading Club event we will discuss the following article from Monique Lassere and Jess M. Whyte. This article was recommended by a participant at our reading club last month and follows on well from the discussions we were having there.
Monique Lassere and Jess M. Whyte - Balancing Care and Authenticity in Digital Collections: A Radical Empathy Approach to Working with Disk Images, Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies (2021) https://doi.org/10.24242/jclis.v3i2.125
This will be a small and informal event for DPC Members only and places are limited. Sign up now to secure your place! We only ask that you have done the reading that has been set before the event and bring along your thoughts and observations to share.
Places for DPC members will be restricted to five places for full members and one place for associates on a first come, first served basis. If you find you are no longer able to attend, please let us know in advance so we can free up your space to those on the waiting list.
Check your local time for the event here.
The DPC Community is guided by the values set out in our Strategic Plan and aims to be respectful, welcoming, inclusive and transparent. We encourage diversity in all its forms and are committed to being accessible to everyone who wishes to engage with the topic of digital preservation, whilst remaining technology and vendor neutral. We ask all those who are part of this community to be positive, accepting, and sensitive to the needs and feelings of others in alignment with our DPC Inclusion & Diversity Policy.
