Their efforts are often highlighted in the <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/sr/">Stanford Report</a>, which provides readers with a brief compilation of the latest Stanford News via email each weekday. When those of us at Stanford Libraries who work on digital preservation read these articles, we immediately wonder what these researchers are doing to preserve all that wonderful research data.</p> <p>Never ones to rest on our laurels, Stanford Libraries staff have been reaching out to these researchers and recommending that they preserve the data generated from these studies -- and sometimes submitted to journals as supplementary data files -- in the <a href="http://library.stanford.edu/sdr">Stanford Digital Repository</a>. We would hate to see all that innovative and intriguing work lost to the ravages of time!</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:14:34 +0000 Amy E.

We are beginning with the most used set as an initial set.</p> <p>The two core components of the project are (1) review and photography of hardware in Stanford’s Stephen M. Cabrinety Collection in the History of Microcomputing, in order to complete our assessment and provide visual aids in the published terminology guide; and (2) collation, editing and design of platform and media description sheets that will be made available online and, eventually, be available for publication in a print format.  </p> </div></div></div> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:58:43 +0000 Glynn Edwards 66539 at https://library.stanford.edu SDR Deposit of the Week: Better processes for better chips https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/digital-library-blog/2015/03/sdr-deposit-week-better-processes-better-chips <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>It only makes sense that if you were making solar cells or computer chips that you would choose the best materials for those tasks. It's a no-brainer, right? The problem is that the best materials might be very expensive to use. </p> <p>Such has been the case with gallium arsenide, but this may be changing.</p> <p>Bruce Clemens and Garrett Hayes have developed a new way of making chips from gallium arsenide that brings down the cost considerably. They created a video that describes a new manufacturing process, and they have preserved that video in the Stanford Digital Repository for you to <a href="http://purl.stanford.edu/zm215bs8409">download and watch</a>!</p> <p></div></div></div> Tue, 24 Mar 2015 16:56:44 +0000 Amy E.

For the last several years, we have been using a tool to collect <a href="http://www.cni.org/topics/digital-curation/everyday-electronic-materials-in-policy-and-practice/">Everyday Electronic Materials (EEMS)</a>. However, the EEMs system has some technical and workflow constraints that do not meet our growing needs.</p> </div></div></div> Mon, 02 Mar 2015 03:11:52 +0000 James R.
