from ALA TechSource:
The Preservation of Digital Materials
by Priscilla Caplan (vol. 44:2)
It has
been predicted that an entire age of knowledge recorded only
electronically could be lost forever unless librarians and archivists
rise to the challenges of digital preservation. However, there are few
published overviews of the field available for non-specialists, and fewer
still that address both the fundamentals of digital preservation and
important current initiatives. This issue of LTR is intended to
fill this gap by providing a concise introduction to this area. Topics
include:
- Core frameworks, standards, and
digital formats
- Major international preservation
initiatives and open-source repository applications
- E-journal archiving and web
archiving
