Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, and Bibliographical Center for Research (BCR) have signed an agreement to offer libraries, archives, and other information organisations foundation training and consulting services in the field of digital preservation. The training will include an overview of digital preservation as well as courses on policy and planning for digital preservation, and risk assessment planning and implementation.
These courses, available online and in a classroom format, will provide libraries with a foundation for implementing a digital preservation system such as the Ex Libris Rosetta. Supplementary consulting services to meet the specific needs of each organisation will also be offered.
The Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation system provides libraries and archives around the world with a solution to support their task of collecting and preserving cumulative knowledge in digital format for the use of today's scholars and generations to come. The system is based on industry standards and best practices and supports the acquisition, validation, ingestion, storage, management, preservation, accessibility, and dissemination of all types of digital objects.
