Building on the knowledge and skills acquired in LIS-S 582 (Digital Preservation), this course introduces students to practical tools for curating and preserving born-digital objects. Throughout the course, students will test and evaluate primarily free and/or open-source software designed to transfer, appraise (forensically), package, ingest, arrange, describe, and provide access to born-digital records. The course will also familiarize students with how to interact with digital files through a command line interface (shell) as a means for developing more efficient and scalable digital preservation workflows.
