Abstract

Over the past ten years, Columbia University has completed a number of successful high-profile projects to preserve and publish digital materials. However, up to now, the work on curating and archiving born-digital assets has remained largely project-based and not routinised or scalable. Columbia University’s Born Digital Strategic Initiative Team was tasked with assessing Columbia University Libraries’ approach to collecting born-digital content and making recommendations on how to operationalise that work so that acquiring, processing and providing access to digital assets becomes as routine as going through all these steps with paper-based library collections. This article shares the methodology used by the team to analyse the current situation and develop recommendations for the future.
