Geared toward teams of administrators and system administrators, this workshop will provide information and specialized training for institutions seeking to build or join distributed digital preservation networks based on the LOCKSS software.
On the first day of the workshop, we will present key strategies for establishing a secure LOCKSS-based digital archive to teams of administrators and system administrators. The second and third days will train system administrators to implement a network and/or an individual node.
Participants may register for the entire three day workshop, or only the first day.
