Subject: [IIPC-Web-Curators] IIPC Announces 2008 Member Profile Survey
Results
International Internet Preservation Consortium Announces 2008 Member
Profile Survey Results
The International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) announces its
first comprehensive survey of members and their web preservation
activities. In 2008, a survey was developed to gather information about
the members of the International Internet Preservation Consortium: their
web preservation program's scope, staff, tools, and policies that affect
their activities. The IIPC Member Profile Survey opened to members on
March 7, 2008, with preliminary results presented at an April 2008
General Assembly meeting in Canberra, Australia.
A summary of survey results has been published for a wider web archiving
and digital library community presents answers to portions of the
original survey, and is available on the IIPC website
[http://www.netpreserve.org/publications/reports.php?id=005]. The survey
results cover topics such as what type of institutions belong to the
IIPC and the maturity of their web archiving programs, the types of
staff who are working on web archiving in their institutions. The survey
asked questions about the scope of IIPC members' web archives, whether
they publish selection guidelines, and what metrics they use to report
on the archiving activities. The survey results also reports on what
crawlers and curator tools are being used by IIPC members, whether they
provide access and description for research use, and legal issues and
policies related to copyright.
The mission of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC)
is to acquire, preserve and make accessible knowledge and information
from the Internet for future generations everywhere, promoting global
exchange and international relations. The goals of the consortium are:
* To enable the collection, preservation and long-term access of a
rich body of Internet content from around the world.
* To foster the development and use of common tools, techniques and
standards for the creation of international archives.
* To be a strong international advocate for initiatives and
legislation that encourage the collection, preservation and access to
Internet content.
* To encourage and support libraries, archives, museums and cultural
heritage institutions everywhere to address Internet content collecting
and preservation.
