Hello all,
I am a graduate student currently enrolled in a Preservation
Management class. My partner and I will be conducting a needs
assessment survey on a collection of CD-ROMs. However, we are having
some trouble finding examples of past surveys from other libraries.
Since we don't have the equipment needed to test the BLER, we plan on
doing a visual inspection for disc rot, hurricane patterns, scratches,
fingerprints, label failure, etc. and a readability test, i.e. will it
play on the computers available at the library and what software does
it require. Has anyone done an assessment on CD-ROMs? Any
suggestions for additional items to be included in the survey would be
greatly appreciated.
Best,
Emily Rainwater
