The document provides an introduction to web archiving, explaining that it involves collecting, managing, and preserving web resources in a format like WARC files so they can be accessed over time independently of the original. It discusses why web archiving is important, noting that online content is at risk of being lost and web archives allow representing experiences from the 21st century. The document then outlines the multi-step process of web archiving including collection development, selection, harvesting, description, access, and long-term preservation.
DPC Web Archiving & Preservation Webinar #4: Outreach & Awareness Raising Anna Perricci
In this presentation we'll review common issues and approaches to small scale (human scale) web archiving. Examples given demonstrate successful use of Webrecorder.io and can help others envision good outcomes within similar scenarios.
In 2015, I created a web archiving fundamentals course for the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) program. This is a portion of the slide deck I used for that course.
Archiving for Now and Later - workshop at Common Field Convening 2019Anna Perricci
Session description:
In this workshop, we’ll discuss the ways that thinking about the future of an initiative (and even its proposed end) can inform the decisions one makes in the present. Part organizational assessment and part introduction to web archiving, the session will look at how consideration for archiving one’s digital and physical assets can become an integral part of creative planning and day-to-day administration. The workshop begins with an introduction by Cameron Shaw, Executive Director and Founding Editor of Pelican Bomb in New Orleans. Shaw will discuss Pelican Bomb’s decision to sunset after 8 years of operation and also present tools for organizational self-evaluation. Following Shaw’s introduction, Anna Perricci, Webrecorder’s Associate Director of Strategic Partnerships at Rhizome in New York, gives an introduction to fundamental concepts in web archiving and a hands-on demonstration for using Webrecorder, a free, easy-to-use, web archiving tool.

LibGuides is an amazing tool to provide, present, and promote library research resources to your community. But it can also present other various tools outside of traditional bibliographic instruction. See how Carthage College has leveraged LibGuides to promote resources and tools for statistics, language learning, preparation for grad school exams and more. We have implemented this in our academic library, but we think our uses will inspire libraries of many types to use this powerful tool in new and creative ways.

Six important factors to consider before choosing a technology jon solomon Colorado State Library
Choosing the technology before knowing the goals of a project is a common mistake. Often this leads to a feeling the library or a project group is “implementing technology for technology’s sake.” To ensure you are selecting the right technology, it is important to ensure the proper research and attention is paid to matching project and library needs with the right technology.
In this session, we will guide you through six important areas for consideration, prior to choosing a technology; these steps will allow you to complete side-by-side comparisons that will help you make a good decision for the best service outcome. We will also offer an opportunity to review these six concepts through a high level practical exercise by reviewing these steps for selecting a Content Management System (CMS).
Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.
Workshop presented at the Wisconsin Conference for Local History and Historic Preservation, Wisconsin Rapids, October 11, 2013. Presenters: Sarah Grimm, Electronic Records Archivist, Wisconsin Historical Society and Emily Pfotenhauer, Recollection Wisconsin Program Manager, WiLS.
Spotlight on the digital, http://digitisation.jiscinvolve.org/wp/spotlight-on-the-digital/, is a collaborative project between Jisc, RLUK and SCONUL. It sought to assess the discoverability problem in relation to digitised collections and identify practical solutions to improve their discoverability both at national/above campus level and locally at institutional level.
These slides describe a range of above campus or national “solutions” that have been identified by the project and that could support the discoverability of digitised collections.

Retention Modeling for the Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST)Anna Perricci
How do you get 40 diverse libraries to agree on a model for shared print retention in 8 weeks? This lively overview demonstrates the process of forming and refining such a model for retention of monographs, using collection analysis and visualization software (GreenGlass). The Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) is a partnership of 48 academic libraries, 40 of which are committing to retain titles on behalf of all EAST members for a minimum of 15 years. EAST seeks to maintain access to the scholarly record through sustained cooperation between partner libraries.
Hear how the project team worked with partner libraries, the vendor for collection analysis software (Sustainable Collection Services), working group members and EAST governance to refine and adopt a model for retaining over 6 million scholarly monographs. The key elements of the final model are covered as well major lessons learned.

ACRL/NY 2013 poster: Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Human Rights Web ...Anna Perricci
Presented by: Anna Perricci, Web Archiving Project Librarian, and Pamela Graham, Director, Center for Human Rights Documentation & Research at Columbia University Libraries / Information Services
Event: ACRL / NY December 6, 2013
Poster: Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (plus some information about web archiving collaborations)
http://hrwa.cul.columbia.edu/
Web archiving encompasses several challenges that we face in the midst of the radical changes that are the focus of the ACRL-NY 2013 Symposium. Like many other interdisciplinary, wide-ranging and highly networked fields, human rights scholarship relies extensively on web-based information, but much of this content is at risk of disappearing within a relatively short time.
To meet the needs of the scholarly community, the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (HRWA) was created. The HRWA is a searchable collection of archived copies of human rights websites created by non-governmental organizations, national human rights institutions, tribunals and individuals.
In this poster we will detail our early progress in the assessment of the effectiveness of the HRWA through user testing and a review of scholarly publishing in journals focusing on human rights research. We will also discuss how keeping users actively engaged is at the core of our evolving collecting policy for web archives. In sharing our experiences with a collection development policy centered in an active and agile feedback loop, we hope to shed light on strengths and opportunities for growth including via collaborative initiatives.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Normal labor is also termed spontaneous labor, defined as the natural physiological process through which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus through the birth canal at term (37 to 42 weeks
2. What is web
archiving?
The collection, management and
stewardship of web resources
in a stable form (e.g.WARC file)
that can be accessed over time
independently from the original
3. Why
archive
web
resources?
To accurately represent experiences and materials
created in the twenty-first century, select websites and
other web-based resources should be captured, stored,
managed, described, and made accessible
Online spaces & web based media are crucial elements
in some current events & crises - a lot of very
important information would be lost / omitted in the
absence of web archiving
4. Why archive
web resources
(continued)?
• Content available primarily or solely online is among
the most at-risk born-digital materials
• Websites that can be collected are freely and widely
available to anyone at some time but can vanish at the
volition of the site owner and/or service provider
• Like with other digital materials, web content is very
vulnerable to loss by comparison to information
contained in most analog media
5. [A few more]
Why archive
web
resources?
• Curated collections of web archives can be a valuable
part of collection development
• Some resources that used to be published and
distributed on paper are now only available online
• Examples include:
• Course catalogs (!)
• Reports
• Publicity materials i.e. for exhibitions, events,
press kits, brochures
6. Web archiving
is a multi-step
process
• Collection development and planning
• Selection
• Permissions / Ethical review
• Collecting / Harvesting
• Description
• Access
• Long-term preservation
7. Is the
visual
Context
also
Content?
– CONTEXT à Content
– Are the visual elements or interactive features
– Important
– Defining
– Non-essential
– Is the experience of usage essential to capture?
– For example is a resource more like a course
catalog versus interactive publication?
– Would anyone truly care about the path of access
enough to prioritize it?
– eBooks created with specific frameworks to weave
together information, however, are different
– Social media is HARD
8. What
[IMHO]
is NOT
web archiving?
– Static screenshots / non-interactive fixed images /
screen recordings of interaction with the site
– There is room for these as supplemental materials
– Stockpiling without any specific strategy for selection,
management and preservation
– For example,YouTube is not a web archive unless
your collection development plan is to document
an enormous, un-curated mass of data
– Also this would be nearly impossible to steward
and make accessible on an enduring basis (i.e.
financially, environmental impact)
– Using, or capturing, web spaces employed as a
PLATFORM or environment for sharing digital archives
9. In the absence
of ideal tools*
– * Ideal tools - fully functional, easy to use, open source,
sustainable, well maintained, tested, widely accessible
& affordable with transparent pricing
– What can you afford?
– What is good enough? For now? Longer term?
– Why are you doing this?
– Who is this for and for how long into the future?
10. Some
essential
terms
– Crawler / spider / robot
– Automated software that traverses web pages per
directions from a human (for indexing or capture)
– Human scale / browser based web collecting
– Collecting that is guided by a human in real time
through a web browser – not a screen recording of
process, an interactive web archive is created
– Seed URL
– Starting point for collecting (can be at a domain,
directory or page level)
11. Some more
essential terms
– WARC (file)
– ISO standard file format for web archives
– Fidelity / quality:
– Similarity to original (e.g. look, functionality)
– Significant properties:
– Defining features of an object or resource – what
about this thing makes it what it is [and
distinguishes it from other things]
– Will illustrate in slides later
12. Frequent web
archiving
project genesis
Archivist: ‘I was just informed that an essential web
resource is about to be taken down/deleted.
Soon! Within weeks or next month.’
– How do I save a functional copy for future use?
– Can I do this in time (within a month or so)?
13. Advocacy
within an
organization
Administrator: ‘What do you mean web based content
isn’t just saved [with full fidelity] automatically?
Doesn’t the Internet Archive have a copy?’
– By all means check the Internet Archive but view
captures critically
– Does this capture accurately represent the original?
Why/why not? If so, can you get a copy?
– Advocacy is hard but leverage training materials
available. Again, explaining limits of web archiving
capabilities in an encouraging way is difficult but
necessary for expectation management
14. Sharing
responsibilities
– Collecting strategy and establishment of priorities for
collection development could be a group effort
– Contributions could include
– Suggest URLs
– Liaise with site owners to solicit permission to
archive websites
– Governance of collaborations if multiple institutions
are involved
– Detailed quality assurance through browsing the
archived website as a user would (e.g. try to access
media files to ensure they have been successfully
captured)
– Assessment of efficacy for users?
15. Let’s go!
Collection
Development
aka
Why are we
doing this??
• Thinking within any existing collecting policy as well as
thinking through what makes sense for you/your
institution with the tools and resources at hand
• Careful consideration and plenty of questions
• Why collect websites (needs, collection scope)?
• What to collect?
• How/what tools to use?
• When: how often to collect & when will these
materials be used?
16. Collecting +
Ethics
– Discussions of ethics – not an after thought but
remembering some things could be made private or
embargoed if needed
– Who is at risk? What is the potential for harm?
– High risk
– Low risk
– Do creators understand implications of their content
being collected?
– Archives are useful as evidence – who could
leverage that evidence and for what purpose?
– Intellectual property / rights of creators
17. Next:
Collecting
materials
– With a plan in mind, browse the live web and/or make a
list of sites you want
– Depending on tools available and associated skills,
collect some resources
– Review what you got – is this what you expected to
get? If not, is it close enough?
– If you did not get what you expected / need, next steps:
contact vendor, tool maker or someone likely to have
the skills to help you troubleshoot
18. Testing is
boring &
tedious &
entirely
necessary
• ‘Set it and forget it’ is not recommended
• It’s boring and tedious, but review your captures please
• If you don’t test your captures you have no basis to
expect you collected materials with adequate “fidelity”
• Fidelity perceived as correlating with accurate
representation of the resource and the information
contained therein
• Perfection is not attainable but better is better
28. Remember!
– Despite a lack of perfect solutions, materials on the
web are too important to give up on for collecting,
managing and preserving via web archiving
– What is or is not good enough is your call (up to a point)
– Is this enough to meet the established purpose(s)?
– Something is better than nothing as long as that
‘something’ has been gathered with intent and
managed (stewarded) adequately
