The Office of Digital Collections and Resources at the University of Maryland Libraries recently released the new edition of “Best Practices for Digital Collections at UM Libraries.” In addition to covering topics such as project lifecycle management and technical specifications for still images and text, this new edition covers audio and moving image formats, Web authoring guidelines, user centered design as well as a local interpretation of the “digital master” concept. This presentation includes a short overview of UM Libraries analog media collections, followed by an examination of the guiding principles for our new AV preservation initiative and finally, outlines in detail our best practices for digital dynamic media collections.
