5. 2013 Web Archiving Survey
Goal: to find out the scope of collecting web content in the United States:
policies (collecting, permissions, and access)
services and tools used
staffing, skills, major challenges, and more!
plus: how things have changed since original survey in 2011
27 questions, developed by CWG members

6. Exploring in 2013
What types of content folks are concerned about archiving
What metrics are important?
What skills are essential?
How many FTEs are dedicated?
More on copyright and access policies
Length of embargo periods
Based on feedback from 2011 survey and interests of CWG members developing survey

7. Very Very Preliminary Results
so preliminary, we’re not done surveying yet
survey open Oct 22 through Nov 30

8. 50 responses so far Majority College and university then Archives
State government and so forth

9. Most respondents so far are actively capturing
And most are outsourcing:
35 using external services
25 of those using Archive-IT
Only 10 of 35 have transferred data from service to local institution
I know there are more archive-it partners out there…

10. Health of our programs since 2011?

11. Worrisome Content

12. Good news is… …we’re in it together: 7 IIPC members 15 NDSA members
27 SAA Web Archiving roundtable members

13. That’s it for now. Next time I’ll share the full results, promise.
