Preservation in the Age of Large-Scale Digitization: A White Paper

Title:Preservation in the Age of Large-Scale Digitization: A White Paper (ID: CSD5414)
Author(s):Oya Y. Rieger (Cornell University)
Topics:Digital Collections, Digital Preservation
Source:Council on Library and Information Resources.
Abstract:

The paper describes four large-scale projects—Google Book Search, Microsoft Live Search Books, Open Content Alliance, and the Million Book Project—and their digitization strategies. It then discusses a range of issues affecting the stewardship of the digital collections they create: selection, quality in content creation, technical infrastructure, and organizational infrastructure. The paper also attempts to foresee the likely impacts of large-scale digitization on book collections.
