Digital archivists work with a variety of tools, such as simple command line scripts and stand-alone products, to complete systems that accomplish multiple tasks. Using a sample workflow, Kussman walks through the steps to consider when choosing and implementing tools, including understanding what task you are trying to make easier by using a tool; understanding available types of tools; exploring and testing options; making a selection; installing the tool; and using the tool within your existing or developing workflow. She’ll also touch on tool maintenance issues, such as documentation and upgrades.
