School of Information Tutorials Community Past and Present • 2005: Melanie Cofield established the archives
• 2006: Leanda Gahegan, Kris Kelly, and Dana Lamparello created an ingest workflow for IT lab staff
• 2007: focus on providing access to tutorial files in Dspace, particularly video files
Tutorial Videos Creation Process
Created using Camtasia, a screen recording software
End result is numerous uncompressed AVI video (or Camrec) files and a Camtasia Project File
AVIs then encoded to produce various “access” copies; these are linked to the website
A person viewing videos from the website never sees the AVI originals, s/he sees the encoded “access” copies
Lows• Logistics!• Inability to conduct full inventory• Inability to Render AVI videos
Highs• Discovery of TechSmith Screen Capture Codec (TSSC)
• Developing a true “medium plus” level of service– Access copies– Text file of content– README file
Future Recommendations
• Take a full inventory• Develop a preservation strategy for at-risk file formats and older tutorials
• Include other metadata, such as Video MD and LOM
• Refine access copy policies
