Librarians interested in workflows, digital archiving, and digital preservation should pay a visit to the Library Workflow Exchange. The knowledgebase, which was created by Liz Woolcott and Anna Neatrour, is a "site [that] is designed to help librarians share workflows and best practices across institutions." This site would be especially useful to those who are reevaluating existing documentation or writing new policies at their home institutions. Some recent workflows that have been added include, "Metadata 2020: Metadata Best Practices," "Born-Digital University Archives Workflows," and "ALMA to HathiTrust Metadata Institutions." All workflows include a permalink to the workflow and are tagged according to category. For those interested in submitting a workflow to the exchange, the link at the top of the page entitled "Submit your workflows," brings users to an easy web page submit form. Interested visitors can subscribe to the knowledgebase to receive updates via email.
