Description
This new edition of Digital Preservation for Libraries, Archives, and Museums is the most current, complete guide to digital preservation available today.
For administrators and practitioners alike, the information in this book is presented readably, focusing on management issues and best practices. Although this book addresses technology, it is not solely focused on technology. After all, technology changes and digital preservation is aimed for the long term. This is not a how-to book giving step-by-step processes for certain materials in a given kind of system. Instead, it addresses a broad group of resources that could be housed in any number of digital preservation systems. Finally, this book is about things I wish I knew before I got started.
Digital preservation is concerned with the life cycle of the digital object in a robust and all-inclusive way. Many Europeans and some North Americans may refer to digital curation to mean the same thing, taking digital preservation to be the very limited steps and processes needed to ensure access over the long term. The authors take digital preservation in the broadest sense of the term: looking at all aspects of curating and preserving digital content for long term access.
The book is divided into four parts:
- Situating Digital Preservation
- Management Aspects
- Technology Aspects
- Content-Related Aspects
Digital Preservation for Libraries, Archives, and Museums will answer questions that you might not have even known you had, leading to more successful digital preservation initiatives.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Experts praise this book for its thorough and well-researched approach, highlighting the authors’ focus on the inter-connected areas of management, technology, and content—the ‘digital preservation triad’. It provides practical models useful for libraries, archives, and museums of all sizes. Reviewers commend its accessibility to both managerial and technical staff and its perspective that digital preservation is an opportunity rather than a problem.

A librarian, administrator, and information technology expert, Edward M. Corrado is Associate Dean, Library Technology Planning and Policy at the University of Alabama where he is responsible for the information technology operations and planning, and executing a strategic vision for library technology.

Heather Moulaison Sandy is assistant professor at the iSchool at the University of Missouri. Her research focuses on the intersection of organization of information (e.g., cataloging and classification, and metadata) and digital information technologies (e.g., digital libraries and platforms), with the long-term access to materials emerging as a natural combination of the two. Moulaison Sandy has published and presented nationally and internationally in these areas. Her teaching interests stem from these interests as well, with Moulaison Sandy teaching classes in both areas at the iSchool.
