Ramblings on Librarianship, Technology, and Academia

The first panel I went to was digital curation and preservation. my notes from these sessions are more sparse.

( how to choose a digital preservation strategy )

( factors affecting website reconstruction from the web infrastructure )

( defining what digital curators do and what they need to know, the DigCCurr project )

( generating best-effort preservation metadata for web resources at time of dissemination )

For an XML class I'm teaching to library and technology staff tomorrow, I've written a tiny XML trading card template. I'm not going over the XSLT and CSS in class -- this is an XML-only class -- but in theory they could be used as teaching tools as well. (They're both non-standard, though; the CSS because of its absolute positioning throughout and the XSLT for its simplicity.)

Anyway, I'm creative commons licensing the files and posting them for anyone else who'd like to use them. Oh, and here's my sample card.

The files.
