title: INTRODUCING TABULA: The University of Minnesota Libraries Digital Preservation System
creators: Carol Kussmann
abstract: The University of Minnesota Libraries journey with preserving digital materials has been a long one.  After completing an RFP for a preservation system, and then testing that system for multiple years, we decided it was not the system for us. Over 2021 and 2022, we took our requirements along with the lessons we learned from testing, and began to design our own preservation system.  Our main goal with this new system is to preserve the unique materials of the Libraries and to be able to provide access to staff that need copies of preservation files for publication or research requests.  This poster highlights the development process of Tabula, our digital preservation system.
