Thirty years into the Digital Revolution, we are still grappling with how
best to preserve electronic content. Whether born digitally or the
electronic version of analog content, electronic resources are relied upon
more and more, and their long-term usability must be ensured.
NISO's February webinar to be held February 10, 2010 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m.
(Eastern time) will address "What It Takes to Make It Last: E-Resources
Preservation." This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of
current digital preservation issues and standards and an example of a
working collaborative digital repository.
Priscilla Caplan, Assistant Director, Florida Center for Library Automation
will provide an introduction to e-preservation and provide a closer look at
the PREMIS (PREservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies) Data
Dictionary standard.
Jeremy York, Assistant Librarian, University of Michigan Library, will
discuss the work underway by HathiTrust to build and preserve a
comprehensive and cooperative digital library to archive and share
electronic resources. The repository already contains over 195 terabytes of
information.
