It will take place on Monday, June 5, at 1:00 PM CDT. Digital libraries are increasingly challenged with the task of assessing reuse of digital objects in their collections. This can be a complex and time-consuming process, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. D-CRAFT is a new toolkit that can help digital library practitioners assess reuse of digital objects in their collections. D-CRAFT includes tools, methods, recommended practices, explanatory videos, and tutorials that can help you streamline the reuse assessment process and make it more efficient. Register for our webinar today to learn more about D-CRAFT and how it can help you assess reuse of digital objects in your collections. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. The webinar will be recorded and sent out to registrants regardless of attendance. Eric A.

Basic principles and best practices associated with archival processing will be discussed. Participants will also have the opportunity to develop the analytical and decision-making skills required to arrange and describe historical records and manage the process. Though the workshop is free, registration is required. Space is limited to the first 35 registrants.
