New 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
