Presentation to the 2017 Annual International Association for Social Science Information Services & Technology (IASSIST) Conference, Lawrence, KS. Accessed through LIS Scholarship Archive. Available at http://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/HF3DSThis presentation will review digital preservation strategies of economic journals that have data availability policies. Long-term data preservation is critical for future reproducibility of economic research. A greater focus is being placed on making research data publicly available, but there is a dearth of official policies and discussion in the literature concerning preservation. A sampling of over 250 economics journals was developed by cross-referencing journal impact factors, h5-indices, IDEAS rankings, and Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City staff authorship and service to the journal. This sampling analyzes whether data preservation policies are present either independently or as part of a larger data availability policy. Preliminary results indicate that while data availability policies are becoming much more common, data preservation policies are practically nonexistent. This has strong implications for future research reproducibility. In response, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City is developing an institutional data preservation platform as an alternative solution.

The Gold (AU)DRIPSS Framework: Factors for a Maturing Digital Preservation Strategy. Presentation to the National Digital Stewardship Alliance Digital Preservation 2018 (DigiPres), Las Vegas, NV. Accessed through LIS Scholarship Archive. Available at http://doi.org/10.31229/osf.io/fecwu As archivists, librarians, and preservationists develop and implement digital preservation strategies, they are often faced with choices and tradeoffs that are difficult to articulate to stakeholders. In this presentation, we will discuss the Gold (AU)DRIPSS framework as a way to consider prioritizing different goals and discuss those goals with stakeholders.

This paper builds off "Copyright and the Digitization of State Government Documents: A Preliminary Analysis" presented at IPres 2015. In this paper, we present a more detailed analysis and a practical framework for local archivists and librarians to use in assessing copyright status, the application of fair use, and use of other copyright limitations to different types of government documents. IntroductionAs memory institutions digitize their collections for preservation and access, they confront a variety of issues, especially when they make the digitized materials available on the open web.
