Abstract:
Today Digital Technology (computers and communication technology) is enabling
information to be created, manipulated, disseminated, located and stored with increasing
ease over the traditional one. On the other side Technological Obsolescence is the result of
evolution of technology: as newer technology appears, older ones ceased to be used.
Consequently, information, which relies on obsolete technology, becomes inaccessible.
And preserving access to this (digital) information poses a significant challenge to the
Library and Information Community. The present study highlights the digital preservation
techniques and issues involved with it.
