Case Study: Podcasts in the Archives: Archiving Podcasting Content at the University of Michigan

Case Study: Podcasts in the Archives: Archiving Podcasting Content at the University of Michigan (14 Pages; PDF)
by Alexis Antracoli, University of Michigan

From a Summary (via SI Informat, UMich)

Podcasts in the Archives: Archiving Podcasting Content at the University of Michigan is one of the Campus Case Studies published on the SAA portal. Campus Case Studies are reports by university archivists on working solutions for born-digital records.

The initial Campus Case Studies resulted from a workshop of university archivists on “The Development of Case Studies for the Effective Management of University Digital Records” held at the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan in September 2007. The Campus Case Studies portal was launched with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

From the Case Study:

This case study examines the challenges involved in developing best practices and workflows for archiving and preserving podcasting content created by the University of Michigan. One major issue involved establishing standards of practice for ingest, storage, and access, especially the generation and storage of appropriate descriptive, technical, and preservation metadata. Another challenge centered around developing the necessary technological infrastructure to support an Open Archives Information System (OAIS)-compliant system.
