Preserving Electronic Materials - Current Issues Roundtable
| Title: | Preserving Electronic Materials - Current Issues Roundtable (ID: EDU0193) | | Author(s): | Joanne D. Eustis (Case Western Reserve University) | | Topics: | Archiving, Digital Preservation | | Origin: | EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Libraries and archives, in fact universities, have been publishing digital content and transferring materials from print to digital formats for more than a decade with no assurance that a viable (affordable and technologically practical) long term preservation solution exists. In addition to issues such as technology obsolescence and digital fragility, preservation strategies must address a range of economic, legal, and organizational issues. Please join our discussion and share your responses (methods, policies, economic and staffing models) to the digital preservation challenge. | | View this resource: | |
