Mary Molinaro, Associate Dean for
Library Technologies, recently attended the International Digital Curation
Conference (IDCC) in Amsterdam. The IDCC
brings together those who create and manage data and information with those who
use it and those who research and teach about curation processes.
The meeting of professionals from all
parts of the world focused on tools, services, and processes for managing
science data. UK Libraries is partnering
with researchers and UK Information Technology on developing ways to
effectively manage and preserve UK’s digital data. UK Libraries is providing leadership and
digital preservation expertise to the project.
While in the Netherlands, Molinaro
accompanied a team working on the development of the Digital Public Library of
America (DPLA – http://dp.la) in a visit with counterparts in The Hague
who have developed the Europeana Digital Library. Kentucky is one of the initial partners
contributing materials and expertise to the initial launch of the DPLA in
April. This launch will include a joint
online exhibition with Europeana examining the immigrant experience from both
the European and American perspectives.
