    National Agricultural Library: Digital Curation Plan
    (2016) Punzalan, Ricardo; Kriesberg, Adam; Daniels, Morgan; Gucer, Kathryn
    This report presents the observations, findings, and recommendations of the Agricultural Data Curation team at the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies on digital curation and preservation at the National Agricultural Library (NAL). Through sustained engagement at the library involving the PI, postdoctoral fellows, and Masters fellows, we developed these recommendations for NAL to build an integrated and sustained digital preservation infrastructure which takes advantage of its position as one of the United States’ National Libraries and positions it to lead the USDA and agricultural community in providing next-generation information services.

    Digital Workflows at the National Agricultural Library and Implications for Preservation
    (2018-02) Daniels, Morgan
    This study was designed to surface needs for an organization-wide digital preservation infrastructure at the National Agricultural Library by examining the processes currently used at NAL in routine work with digital materials. It used an observation-based interview method to learn directly from staff members about their workflows with digital objects, combining the information gathered into models that depict their work. The report is organized to follow each of the four major digital workflows, ending with a discussion of the implications of the study for an overarching digital preservation program at the library.
