The rise of the Internet and the rapid expansion of electronic information present new challenges for librarians who must acquire, store, organize, preserve, and disseminate this information to their users. How can you locate the electronic resources most relevant to the needs of your users, integrate those resources into the infrastructure of your institutions, manage the necessary technology, and anticipate future trends? Deegan and Tanner suggest both the “why” and the “how” in this meticulous and completely practical examination of the strategic issues we face in a digital future. Chapters like: “Digital Futures in Current Contexts”; “Why Digitize?”; “Developing Collections in the Digital World”; “Economic Implications of Digital Collections”; “Resource Recovery”; “Structures and Services: Mechanisms for End-User Access”; “Digital Preservation”; “The Changing Profession of Librarianship”; and “Digital Futures” encapsulate the themes, concepts, and critical issues facing every librarian.
1. Key issues in digital preservation - Marilyn Deegan and Simon Tanner
2. Strategies for digital preservation - David Holdsworth
3. The status of preservation metadata in the digital library community - Robin Wendler
4. Web archiving - Julien Masanès
5. Web archiving activities: case studies - Elisa Mason
6. The costs of digital preservation - Brian F. Lavoie
7. It's money that matters in long-term preservation - Stephen Chapman
8. Some European approaches to digital preservation - Peter McKinney
9. Digital preservation projects: some brief case studies - Jasmine Kelly and Elisa Mason
"The editors can be praised for bringing together essays highlighting the economic decisions on which preservation is based….The book provides ample guidance to choosing a strategic approach to technology and metadata, and offers more than 60 case studies for reference."
— Information World Review
"The book remains valuable as a reflection of the state-of-the-art in digital preservation knowledge at a given period and is to be recommended for information professions who are not experts in the area but wish to develop their knowledge of the issues further. This book will certainly enable them to do that."
