Enduring access to rich media content : understanding use and usability requirements

Summarises key findings of a testbed framework for preserving, managing and curating access to complex, interactive born-digital new media artworks at the Cornell University Library Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art. Focuses on a user survey conducted with the aim of creating user profiles and use cases for born-digital assets like those in the testbed collection. Discusses how the survey findings informed the development of an artist questionnaire to support creation of user-centric and cost-efficient preservation strategies. Describes their impact on the team's current preservation and access frameworks and future plans.
