The DPC has a new guidance leaflet on Contracting Out for Digital Preservation
Services. This is intended to complement the recently announced Directory of
Digital Preservation Repositories and Services in the UK. Both are available
from:
http://www.dpconline.org/graphics/guides/index.html#outsourcing
Contracting out digital preservation services could be an attractive option,
particularly for smaller organisations who lack the infrastructure to enable
this to be undertaken in house. However it can be a hazardous undertaking
without careful planning. The Guidance leaflet on contracting out is
intended to provide a source of practical guidance and a checklist of issues
to consider before drawing up a service contract.
