There are no silver bullets—no single piece of software can or should cover all aspects of digital preservation. Eckard explores options for suites of tools that can work together to approach a full solution to the software component of digital preservation. He’ll cover the basics of workflow and systems integration, including: why and how to integrate; the "glue" that holds systems together into workflows and allows them to connect; real-world examples of both proprietary and open-source software integration; and efficiently managing “handoffs” of data and metadata from one system to another. (Note: Bringing a laptop to the course is recommended but not required.)
