    Electronic Records Task Force Final Report
    (2015-09) Kussmann, Carol; Nelsen, R. Arvid; University of Minnesota. Electronic Records Task Force
    The University of Minnesota Libraries sponsored the Electronic Records Task Force to explore and develop capacity of the Libraries to preserve and provide access to electronic records. Focusing on the records in the Archives and Special Collections, the Task Force was charged with developing the initial capacity for ingesting and processing electronic records; defining tasks and workflows for staff; and developing ingest and processing workflows. This report documents the work of the Task Force during its first year and recommendations for moving forward. The Task Force members included Lisa Calahan, Kevin Dyke, Lara Friedman-Shedlov, Lisa Johnston, Carol Kussmann (co-chair), Mary Miller, Erik Moore, R. Arvid Nelsen (co-chair), Jon Nichols, Justin Schell, and Mike Sutliff and was sponsored by John Butler and Kris Kiesling.

    Tracking and Analyzing Digital Records Processing Time at the University of Minnesota Archives and Special Collections
    (2025-02-05) Friedman-Shedlov, Lara; Kussmann, Carol
    The Archives and Special Collections Department of the University of Minnesota Libraries began tracking the time spent to ingest and process born digital archival materials in 2014. Following further refinements to the data collection process in 2020, we were able to accrue over four years worth of data documenting the time required for about a dozen different tasks in the workflow. Cross-referencing this time tracking data with other information about the accessions, such as storage size at various points in the workflow, has been instructive. This paper discusses observations we were (and were not) able to make based on this data, and the ways we’ve been able to use it to improve our workflow and acquire additional resources. In addition, the challenges of gathering and analyzing this type of data will be discussed and suggestions made for future work.
