Reseña del editor

Preserving electronic information presents a new challenge for librarians, archivists, and others. Both large and small organizations are now responsible not only for preserving print resources but for preserving digital information on disks, networks, CD-ROMs, and other electronic media as well. This unique manual shows how to apply the "best practices" recommended by professional associations and experts for preserving information in electronic formats. The nature of digital information, media fragility, technical obsolescence, system integrity, and "the digital record" are covered. Here is the step-by step guidance for managing the process -- ensuring that today's digital libraries will be useable by future generations.
