Join us for an introduction to digital forensics in libraries and archives to learn about the important issues involved in the recovery of information from digital media. When acquiring born-digital materials, librarians and archivists must extract information in ways that ensure the integrity of materials, allow users to make sense of materials and understand their context and prevent inadvertent disclosure of sensitive data. There are a variety of methods and strategies from the field of digital forensics that can aid this work. This session is designed to introduce the topic and important issues to archivists and generalists. All are welcome.
