University of Utah

The University of Utah's Marriott Library and Eccles Health Sciences Library, in partnership with the Entertainment Arts and Engineering (EAE) program and the Mountain West Digital Library, will develop and deliver recommendations for academic and research libraries seeking practical guidance on how to preserve and disseminate complex, emerging forms of digital scholarship generated on college and university campuses. The project will use the EAE Program's academic deliverables as a test case for developing recommendations for preserving and accessing modern digital scholarship. The works generated within the EAE program are born-digital and include an executable file to manage dependent files, making it an ideal candidate for studying preservation of and access to many forms of complex scholarly objects that include interdependent files.
