Abstract
The J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah began to
seriously investigate preserving its digital assets in 2008 and went
live with a digital preservation system (DPS) in 2014. This chapter
serves as a case study of the library’s overall digital preservation program, and
discusses the investigation into and eventual implementation of the DPS. The
installation process, which took more than one year, ended with the library’s
in-house developers creating the Submission Information Metadata Packaging
(SIMP) Tool, a workflow management tool that changed the way content is
ingested into the library’s digital asset management system (DAMS) and DPS.
