• Alston Cobourn   I served on the Digital Library Federation's Born-Digital Access: Levels & Tiers Sub-Group. We worked to standardized language around providing access to born-digital materials, develop best practices, and make sure the correct communities are involved in this process. After an open comment period and several revisions, the DLF Born-Digital Access Working Group released our publication Levels of Born-Digital Access (https://osf.io/hqmy4/), which provides a set of format-agnostic baseline practices for born-digital access, laying out concrete and actionable recommendations that individual institutions can consider implementing according to their needs, resources, and abilities.   2017 - 2021
