Abstract:
|
While digital technologies are enabling information to be created, manipulated, disseminated,
located, and stored with increasing ease, preserving access to this information
poses a significant challenge. Digital preservation involves the use of well-defined
techniques to prevent the original artifact from deteriorating further and to perhaps
even improve it to the point where it can be used again. It involves quite different
methods, skills, and outcomes and can complement traditional preservation services,
while simultaneously providing unique and dynamic new uses of information. |
