[PADG:2340] PARS "Preservation Data & Automation Survey"

["S. Tyra Grant" <stgrant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

The PARS Intellectual Access Committee has prepared a "Preservation
Data & Automation Survey" in order to determine :

• What preservation activities libraries record;
• How libraries record preservation activities;
• What preservation data libraries share with other libraries via their online catalogs;
• What information about preservation actions might usefully be shared via online catalogs (that currently is not);
• What levels of awareness and interest exist regarding the Digital Library Federation (DLF) Registry of Digital Masters.

After analyzing and distributing the survey results, the Committee
would like to encourage discussion and participation in order to explore
possibilities for further sharing of preservation data
electronically.

A high response rate will improve the usefulness of the results for all
so please do your part and contribute.   

Thanks,
Carol Unger, Chair, PARS Intellectual Access Committee
