The course blog for Digital Preservation a graduate seminar at the University of Maryland. One of the explicit goals of this course is for us to develop as communicators on the public web. So please do join our conversation, but please do so respectfully. We are all learning how to do this together.
I really like that you made a point to find out about any potential security issues that Mr. Skoog might face with the digital holdings at Viterbo University. When reviewing the information security section of the NDSA levels, I have only been thinking about accidental mistakes that can be made to the materials, but you brought up a good point about ensuring that the workstation is also secure. As you mentioned, Mr. Skoog thinks that it would be extremely unlikely for someone like the IT help desk staff or a work-study student to try and manipulate the holdings. But I think recognizing any possible security vulnerabilities is an important thing to keep in mind when building a digital preservation plan.
