Virtual Continuity
| Title: | Virtual Continuity (ID: EDU9956) | | Author(s): | Nancy M. Cline (Harvard University) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (1999) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | What will be expected of libraries in the next millennium? In recent centuries libraries have held significant roles in research and education: selecting and organizing materials for collections; developing systems of intellectual access; organizing items for physical access and retrieval; and preserving items for long-term use. These attributes of durability are challenged in today's fast-paced digital environment of networks, web interfaces, and proliferating search engines. Permanence, as we have known it, is illusory in the digital environment.As we look to the new century, we must shape an information environment that has sustainable systems of access to enduring information resources so that users, now and in the future, can rely upon them with confidence. Defining this future calls for new combinations of talent and expertise, for short and long-term collaborations, and for experimentation and risk-taking in order to develop the best strategies for managing rapidly expanding amounts of digital information. | | View this resource: | |
Digital Preservation: The Issues Aren't Going Away
| Title: | Digital Preservation: The Issues Aren't Going Away (ID: EDU0268) | | Author(s): | Michael Neuman (Georgetown University) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2002) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | If digital preservation is "the storage, maintenance, and accessibility of a digital object over the long term"(CEDARS), then in terms of storage, what standards, formats, compression, media, methods, and redundancy are needed? For maintenance, what handling, refreshing, migration, and disaggregation of multimedia should we use? For accessibility, what metadata models, interoperability, rights management, and user requirements are relevant? Participants will select emphases of the discussion. | | View this resource: | |
Preserving Electronic Materials - Current Issues Roundtable
| Title: | Preserving Electronic Materials - Current Issues Roundtable (ID: EDU0193) | | Author(s): | Joanne D. Eustis (Case Western Reserve University) | | Origin: | Presented at 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: | |
