Summary

This SPEC Kit explores the tools, workflow, and policies special collections and archives staff use to process, manage, and provide access to born-digital materials they collect. It also looks at which staff process and manage born-digital materials and how they acquire the skills they need for these activities, and how libraries have responded to the challenges that managing born-digital materials present. This SPEC Kit includes documentation from respondents that describe digital specialists' job responsibilities, collection policies, gift/purchase agreements, format policies, and workflows.
