Abstract
While performing their primary functions as research and education, universities also carry out in the ordinary course of activities such as naturally occurring personnel employment, procurement and promotion. As a result of these activities, materials with different types are created. These materials, which are created electronically or digitized, are the memory of the universities as well as evidence of their activities. Therefore, these materials need to be preserved for a long time. To predict the success of these materials in terms of long-term preservation, it is necessary to examine the capabilities of universities in this field. While doing this review, is thought to benefit from the Rapid Assessment Model (RAM) created by Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC). Because the RAM is designed to evaluate the digital preservation capability of organizations at a basic level. As a result of this evaluation, it will be possible for universities to improve their digital preservation capabilities and monitor their progress. In this study, in which quantitative research methods will be used, Bursa Uludag University, one of the universities with the highest number of students in Turkey, is the sample. The study aims to contribute to raising awareness in universities about how DPC RAM can be used in the evaluation of digital preservation practices in universities.
