Lessons learned from implementing Rosetta in the BYU library

Abstract

Abstract: The BYU Library installed Rosetta digital preservation software in 2012 as a pilot project. The purpose of the project was to: 1. Determine the suitability of Rosetta as a digital preservation solution 2. Identify the people needed for digital preservation 3. Recommend policies that need to be created or updated 4. Outline procedures for staff to follow in order to ingest into Rosetta This presentation looks at each of these items, the documents we created, as well as other lessons learned from the training and implementation. Our final project evaluation included recommendations to our library administration. The information about our project may be helpful for other institutions considering or implementing Rosetta.
