[MCN-L] Join the BCC, pay a reduced fee - now through January 31, 2019
Greetings! If your institution has been considering membership in the BitCurator Consortium <https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/> but hasn’t quite been able to take the leap due to time or finances, or if your institution is curious about the community but needs additional context for what membership entails, you now have the opportunity to join the BCC at a reduced fee and experience all the benefits of membership (including some new ones)! You may be thinking, “Well, we don’t regularly use BitCurator, or we are just getting started working with born-digital materials, so I’m not sure if BCC membership is for us”. The BCC is so much more than the home for the BitCurator software environment. It’s a space for practitioners working with born-digital materials to share knowledge, resources, and documentation. It’s a place to work together to develop new ideas and solutions. Even if you are just getting started, the BCC offers a community of support, a place to connect with people doing the same kind of work in other institutions, as well as many training resources to assist practitioners in their work. And today, in celebration of World Digital Preservation Day, <https://dpconline.org/events/world-digital-preservation-day> we’re delighted to kick off a new Winter Membership Special <https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/winter-membership-special> for the BitCurator Consortium wherein institutions can join the BCC as full members at a discounted rate of $500 (a 75% discount off the regular membership rate!). This membership period will begin in January 2019 and last until July 2019, providing institutions with a seven-month opportunity to explore BCC’s treasure trove of educational resources, engage with our network of engaged professionals, and most importantly, take advantage of a brand new membership benefit: Born-Digital Workflow Consultation! As part of this membership special, new members will receive 2-3 hours of consultation time with BCC staff to assess, evaluate, and produce recommendations related to their born-digital workflows and infrastructure. This new membership benefit was created in response to a need that we have heard articulated both within and beyond our community - that institutions and their staff need assistance developing and evolving their born-digital workflows. Through the BCC’s close involvement with the OSSArcFlow <https://educopia.org/ossarcflow/>research project, we have developed a process for documenting and evaluating current workflows and we are excited to bring this approach to the larger community! If you would like to learn more about Born-Digital Workflow Consultation benefits and other BCC community resources please register for an upcoming information session on Friday, December 14th at 12pm ET. See details here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bcc-winter-membership-special-info-session-registration-53113209038> . If you’re interested in joining the BCC as part of the Winter Membership Special, here are the details you need to know: - Institutions can become a BCC member for only $500 - Membership Special term runs from January to June 30, 2019, with opportunity to renew and continue annual membership at regular rate - Institutions must join by January 31st, 2019 - New members who join as part of the special will receive the Born-Digital Workflow Consultation benefit In addition to the Winter Membership Special benefits listed above, all new members will also receive access to the full suite of regular BCC membership benefits, including: - Discounts for events, including the annual BitCurator Users Forum - Access to the members-only training resources and documentation - Access to members-only help desk for technical support - Prioritized requests for BitCurator feature development - Opportunities to serve on BCC committees - Engage with other members on the BCC mailing list - Voting rights for community governance - Professional development opportunities The BCC exists to ensure that the digital forensics community in cultural heritage institutions continues to thrive in the years to come.

[MCN-L] Registration open for new BCC Webinar on the BitCurator NLP project
*We are pleased to announce a new BitCurator Consortium webinar on the BitCurator NLP <https://bitcurator.net/bitcurator-nlp/> project! The webinar is free and open to the public and will be held on April 20, 2018 at 12pm ET.

The project is adapting existing natural language processing (NLP) software to identify and report on items likely to be relevant to ongoing preservation, information organization, and access, including entities (e.g. persons, places, and organizations), potential relationships among entities, and topic models to provide insight into how concepts are naturally clustered within the documents. In this webinar current versions of BCA Webtools and the BitCurator NLP tools will be demonstrated. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of future directions.The webinar will be led by Cal Lee and Kam Woods from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science.There are no prerequisites for this webinar. However, it is designed for users already familiar with the basic operations of the BitCurator environment. The webinar will be roughly one hour, including at least 10 minutes for Q&A at the end. The webinar will be recorded and made available publicly on the BitCurator Consortium website.* Sam Meister Preservation Communities Manager, Educopia Institute s...@educopia.org http://educopia.org @samalanmeister ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/

[MCN-L] Announcement: Curating the Bits workshop at Museums and Web 2016
Are you a museum conservator, curator, archivist working with digital materials? Are you looking for more skills, knowledge, and tools to help acquire, process, analyze, and curate the digital materials in your collections? Then Curating the Bits: Enabling digital curation activities with BitCurator and BitCurator Access <http://mw2016.museumsandtheweb.com/proposal/curating-the-bits-enabling-digital-curation-activities-with-bitcurator-and-bitcurator-access/> half-day workshop on April 6, 2016 at the upcoming Museums and the Web 2016 conference is the event for you! This workshop will provide an introduction to how digital forensics tools and methods can support a variety of important tasks related to acquiring and analyzing born-digital materials and data. Workshop participants will learn about and get experience using BitCurator environment tools that can assist with various aspects of digital curation, including pre-imaging data triage; forensic disk imaging; file system analysis and reporting; identification of private and individually identifying information; and export of technical and other metadata. Participants will gain a practical understanding of how to apply these tools in their own institutions and establish contacts in peer institutions who are undertaking similar work. Register for the workshop here: http://mw2016.museumsandtheweb.com/registration/ More about BitCurator The BitCurator environment is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that includes open source and public domain digital forensics tools and unique reporting mechanisms and user interfaces designed to assist libraries, archives, and museums with the curation of born-digital materials. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the BitCurator project has developed, packaged, and documented open-source forensics and data analysis tools to create forensic disk images, analyze files and file systems, extract file system metadata, identify and redact sensitive information, and identify and remove duplicate files.
