Resumen: Most libraries around the world have some of their holdings in an audio-format. This sound material, kept in its
analogue form, has a microscopic life expectancy compared to material found on a paper medium. To delay a migration
to a digital medium for another decade could be the coup de grace for many such sound collections, or cost an eye and
a leg because of the unavailability of adequate analogue replay machines. Both IFLA’s Audio-Visual Media Section and the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) recommend digitization as the best means to safeguard the audio heritage for the future.

Resumen: Electronic resources form an increasingly large part of our cultural and intellectual heritage. In addition to electronic publications, the Web, and e-commerce, there is an array of new UK initiatives and legislation, from Modernising Government to the Freedom of Information Act, which is putting an onus on public organisations to provide access to, manage and archive their information in electronic form. In the research arena, there are also significant developments particularly in the sciences towards very large primary research data sets in electronic form e.g. in genomics or earth sciences.There are significant challenges associated.

Descriptores: Preservación digital/Cooperación bibliotecaria/Cooperación internacional/Estados Unidos

Resumen: Resource-sharing and knowledge dissemination have been the driving forces behind late twentieth century preservation collaboration. But with the challenge of digital preservation that emerged at the turn of the twenty-first century, collaboration for the discovery of new ways of doing things took on increased importance. Collaborative projects tackled problems like developing new methodologies, establishing standards and best practices, and developing procedures and tools for areas such as emulation and data recovery. This article explains the different driving forces behind collaboration for preservation of electronic material and situates them within recent U.S. preservation and library collaboration history. It then provides two case studies of collaborative electronic preservation projects that the author participated in. Finally, it uses the experiences of those studies to identify, a modest set of predictors for success in such future projects.

Resumen: This paper investigates what is meant by digital sustainability and establishes that it encompasses a range of issues and concerns that contribute to the longevity of digital information. A significant and integral part of digital sustainability is digital preservation, which has focused on one technical concern after another as issues and fashions have shifted over the last twenty years. Digital sustainability is demonstrated as providing an appropriate context for digital preservation because it requires consideration of the overall life cycle, technical, and socio-technical issues associated with the creation and management of digital items.

Resumen: Reports on a survey of the activities of thirteen institutions and projects in the USA and abroad that employ or are exploring strategies to preserve authentic electronic records. These strategies include preservation techniques (refreshing, migration, emulation); selection for preservation; staffing configurations; cost modelling; access to preserved records; and policymaking. Particular attention is paid to three broad areas: the evolution of the definition of 'preservation', the role of costing in preserving electronic records, and the gap in policy development in which to situate and strategize the present and future preservation of electronic records. By documenting the variety of approaches that are being taken, the authors seek not only to shed light on current practices, but also to offer informed consideration on where preservation might be headed.

Descriptores: Preservacion digital/Recuperación de la información/Bibliotecas

Resumen: Purpose – This paper has two objectives: to illustrate to non-technical librarians the elements that make up the process of metasearching and to discuss how the openness of each of those elements affects the quality and affordability of a metasearch service. Design/methodology/approach – The search flow is broken down into its primary component parts-user interface, interface software, metasearch middleware (search client and results processor), the various types of database connectors, database servers, metadata, and content. Diagrams and real world examples are used to illustrate the challenges faced by metasearch services and how those services could be improved by open source software, open standards and open access content. Findings – This paper finds that the lack of Z39.50/SRU-compliant database servers and rich metadata consistently encoded are the primary causes of the current functional problems of metasearch services; that wide use of open source metasearch software and widespread implementation of Z39.50/SRU-compliant database servers would significantly lower the cost of metasearch services. Practical implications – One practical implication of the findings of the paper is that widespread use of Z39.50/SRU by content providers is the best foundation on which to build improved metasearch services. Another is that libraries would save a great deal of money and be able to offer superior metasearch services if those services were based on open source software and provided access to open access content. Originality/value – The value of this paper will be realized to the extent that it promotes awareness of the importance of open standards, open source software and open access content for the continued advancement of cost-effective metasearch services.

Resumen: The UNESCO Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage, adopted in October 2003, is important for affirming the role of (national) heritage institutions and extending existing systems for preservation of documentary heritage to cover digital materials. This approach has distinct advantages, but has also been criticized for taking too narrow a view of the dynamic diversity of the digital environment, particularly as found on the Web. To understand what digital heritage is, it is useful to look at the current debate on preservation of intangible heritage, as both share a number of characteristics. The charter is examined in the context of UNESCO programs on culture to indicate its relevance for UNESCO's mission and to point to political aspects of digital preservation that cannot be ignored.

Resumen: As increasing numbers of primary historical documents appear on the World Wide Web, publishers of those documents will need ways to provide intellectual access to the contents. Ten experts from the fields of experimental electronic publishing and library and information science (LIS) research, documentary editing and computer science research convened for three days in 2000 at Vermont University at Burlington. They identified the following needs: for user studies to determine the needs and reactions of the audiences; for assessment of the implications for change in publication management; and the need to compare empirically various technological approaches to access to information as three areas of research that can contribute to an understanding of how to construct and improve intellectual access to historical documents on the Web.

Resumen: For research libraries, the long-term preservation of digital collections may well be the most important issue in digital libraries. In certain ways, digital materials are incredibly fragile, dependent for their continued utility upon technologies that undergo rapid and continual change. In the world of physical research materials, a great number of valuable research resources have been saved passively: acquired by individuals or organizations and stored in little-visited recesses. These physical resources are still viable decades later. This is not the case with the digital equivalents. Changes in computing technology will insure that, over relatively short timeframes, both the media and the technical format of old digital materials will become unusable. Keeping digital resources accessible for use by future generations will require conscious effort and continual investment.

Descriptores: Acceso abierto/Galicia/Politica científica/Preservación digital

Resumen: Improving governability is an important objective in many fisheries and coastal areas. However, it may be difficult to modify the factors influencing this. Specifically, enhancing the capacity of user groups and civil society to cope with the tasks involved in co-governance situations may constitute a challenge, although the advantages in factors such as legitimacy and adaptability to local situations may reward the efforts. This paper attempts to analyze the process of transformation of on-foot shellfish gathering in Galicia, an activity that has traditionally been developed mainly by women in a regime similar to an open access regime. However, in recent decades this situation has changed, and nowadays many areas where this activity flourishes are in a situation of active co-governance, with a type of license system. Shellfisher organizations plan and control the exploitation with the support of the government, even using seeding techniques to regenerate areas that were previously degraded. Over the last decade, they have avoided overexploitation and have managed the marketing of the shellfish much better than ever before. We emphasize in the article that the role of the administration in this process has been decisive, investing in training and improving the organizations and the social dimension of the activity through different strategies. The empowerment of women has been an essential element in this process, which has also enhanced social valuation of the activity. This case may exemplify the possibilities open for progress in potential co-governing situations.

Descriptores: Preservación digital/Documentos electrónicos

Resumen: The preservation of digital objects (defined here as objects in digital form that require a computer to support their existence and display) is obviously an important practical issue for the information professions, with its importance growing daily as more information objects are produced in, or converted to, digital form. Yakel's ([2001]) review of the field provided a much-needed introduction. At the same time, the complexity of new digital objects continues to increase, challenging existing preservation efforts (Lee, Skattery, Lu, Tang, & McCrary, [2002]). The field of information science itself is beginning to pay some reflexive attention to the creation of fragile and unpreservable digital objects. But these concerns focus often on the practical problems of short-term repurposing of digital objects rather than actual preservation, by which I mean the activity of carrying digital objects from one software generation to another, undertaken for purposes beyond the original reasons for cresting the objects. For preservation in this sense to be possible, information science as a discipline needs to be active in the formulation of, and advocacy for, national information policies. Such policies will need to challenge the predominant cultural expectation of planned obsolescence for information resources, and cultural artifacts in general.

Descriptores: Empresas/Preservacion digital/India /Inteligencia competitiva

Resumen: Purpose – Digital repositories are emerging technologies for knowledge sharing and management in academic institutions. Digital repositories collect, store, preserve, index and share the intellectual capital of faculty and research staff, namely their scholarly publications and teaching material. In a developing country like India, capturing this intellectual capital is becoming important and unavoidable for business schools. Creation of a digital archive for scholarly and teaching material is a growing requirement and is feasible assuming faculties use digital resources for their creation and are ready to share them. The paper aims to discuss a survey conducted and a pilot implementation of an institutional repository at the Icfai Business School (Business School Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India), Ahmedabad, India. Design/methodology/approach – A survey was conducted at the Icfai Business School, with the questionnaire being used as a tool to collect data, to determine the usage of digital resources by faculty and research staff in scholarly activities and teaching; understand the need and use of an institutional repository by the faculty. The pilot implementation of the institutional repository at Icfai Business School, Ahmedabad is also described. Findings – The study indicates that faculty in business schools from different academic areas and teaching experience do use digital resources for scholarly publications and teaching material, they do indicate a knowledge sharing culture and tend to show a positive attitude towards the need and use of a Digital institutional repository. Implementing the pilot institutional repository using Open Source DSpace software was an experience and provided visibility to the institutional intellectual capital. Research limitations/implications – Infrastructure, funding and manpower were the initial limitations. Once the institutional repository was installed, management of the repository was necessary. Planning of communities and collections, system maintenance like backups, populating the repository with the seed collection, creating awareness for initiating faculty self-archiving for the growth of the repository were some of the challenges faced. Staff were to be trained to ensure that documents were properly uploaded and metadata submitted into the repository. Practical implications – The pilot institutional repository aims to collect, preserve, share the intellectual capital and enhance institutional visibility. The intellectual output of faculty and research staff is available at one centralized location for search. Information retrieval from this repository on the basis of communities, collections, keywords, author, and titles is possible. As the repository is OAI enabled, visibility to the work of the faculty and the institution is enhanced. Originality/value – Implementing the pilot institutional repository at Icfai Business School, Ahmedabad has created a central facility for systematic archiving of the intellectual output of faculty and research staff. The institutional repository is of utility and value to both the faculty and the institute as it gives visibility to the work done. It is one of the few business schools in India who have implemented an open access institutional digital repository to capture the intellectual capital and share knowledge.

Resumen: Based on the work of the first phase of the International Research on Permanent Authentic Electronic Record Project (InterPARES 1), argues that emerging considerations specific to electronic records necessitate that the archival community delineate mechanisms for establishing, maintaining and certifying the authenticity of preserved and reference copies of electronic records. Reviews how the InterPARES 1 Project identified such mechanisms through the conduct of a series of case studies of electronic information and record keeping systems. Discusses the case study data collection, analysis and outcomes in the context of the quest and rationale for effective methods and a research design that would allow InterPARES researchers to discern the parameters of the electronic record and what supports a presumption of its authenticity

Descriptores: Preservación digital/Conservación/Restauración/Patrimonio bibliográfico

Resumen: This article examines the changing landscape of moving image archiving in the wake of recent developments in online video sharing services such as YouTube and Google Video. The most crucial change to moving image archives may not be in regard to the collections themselves, but rather the social order that sustains cultural institutions in their role as the creators and sustainers of objectified cultural capital. In the future, moving image stewardship may no longer be the exclusive province of institutions such as archives and libraries, and may soon be accomplished in part through the work of other interested individuals and organizations as they contribute to and define collections. The technologies being built and tested in the current Internet environment offer a new model for the reimagined moving image archive, which foregrounds the user in the process of creating the archive and strongly encourages the appropriation of moving images for new works. This new archetype, which in theory functions on democratic principles, considers moving images--along with most other types of cultural heritage material--to be building blocks of creative acts or public speech acts. One might argue that the latter represents a new model for creating an archive; this new democratic archive documents and facilitates social discourse.

Resumen: One of the primary duties of the National Diet Library (NDL) of Japan is to collect and preserve Japanese publications as the nation's cultural and intellectual assets. For this purpose NDL depends greatly on the legal deposit system for its collection of materials. Moreover, the NDL collects, through purchase and donation, books published before the legal deposit system came into existence, as well as older materials and foreign reference and academic publications.

Resumen: Determining user needs is a prevalent dilemma for librarians and archivists. For whom is information being saved, and how is that best accomplished? In recent discussions of emulation and migration as digital preservation strategies, the issue of adequate preservation has necessarily raised the specter of both current and future user needs as a factor in choosing preservation methods. This paper will discuss the application of user needs analysis to an evaluation of digital preservation strategies, present initial findings, and discuss additional research based on user testing to evaluate different approaches to digital preservation.

Resumen: The OAI-PMH has become the de-facto standard for exposing metadata. In the PRESERV project we have explored new models for enabling thedigital preservation of and long-term access to content in Institutional Repositories (IRs).
We envision digital preservation being achieved through simple preservation services working with standards-based, interoperable repository software. As support for the OAI-PMH matures so repositories are providing more robust
mechanisms to access their content through OAI, e.g. community standards for using Dublin Core, support for METS or DIDL. Based on this, we have developed an exemplar File Format Profiling tool in the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), utilizing OAI and PRONOM DROID. PRONOM-ROAR is a first step to preserving digital content through simplifying content file format management for IR Managers by providing file format profiles and alerts.

Resumen: Emulation is a digital preservation strategy that holds great promise for the future. By emulation, we mean the re-creation on current hardware of the technical environment required to view and use digital objects from earlier times. As the digital preservation community increasingly takes emulation seriously there is still considerable debate about how to deploy the technique. Until recently, the lack of any real practical work has left these arguments on a purely theoretical (or more correctly hypothetical) level, and the CAMiLEON Project (1999-2002) is attempting to redress the balance. This is the project's first low level look at the use of emulation as a real and practical preservation strategy, which we will be developing and testing over the remaining period of the project.

Resumen: Digital Preservation has been regarded as a matter of increasingly urgent priority in the U.K for a number of years. The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and the British Library hosted a Workshop at the University of Warwick in 1995 to determine what needed to be done. Since then, there has been a great deal of effort and progress, coupled with a growing imperative to move beyond theoretical research and into practical archiving efforts. This paper will provide an overview of the major digital preservation activities being undertaken in the U.K and the highly collaborative nature of digital preservation, recognising that the issues cross both sectoral and geographic boundaries. The Digital Preservation Coalition, launched in February 2002, aims to leverage maximum benefit from the activities being undertaken individually and co-operatively by member institutions, and to provide a catalyst for further action.

Resumen: La capacidad de recuperar la información de un soporte digital depende de la capacidad de reproducir el entorno original que le dio vida.  ¿Cuál fue el programa bajo el cual se creó?  ¿Sobre qué sistema operativo funcionó éste? ¿En qué formato fue codificado el documento? ¿Dónde encontraremos una máquina capaz de leer físicamente el soporte – por ejemplo un disquete de 8 pulgadas de hace 20 años?  Si todo esto no fuese suficiente para torpedear el proceso, los soportes en que se graba la información tienen una vida limitada:  se ha calculado que la vida de los soportes magnéticos – disquetes, cintas, etc.­es de 3 a 30 años, y la de los soportes ópticos,  algo más larga – de 5 a 100 años.  Imaginados la desilusión que tendríamos si – después de reunir todos los elementos del equipo original --descubriéramos que los datos grabados se deterioraron hasta el punto de resultarse ilegibles.

Resumen:  Development of approaches to preservation metadata has been an integral component of international efforts in the field of digital preservation. The focus of the community engaged in this work is currently shifting, and there is, as yet, no formal agreement around a conceptual framework and identification of required data elements. At the same time attention is now turning to the more complex task of building sustainable technical, infrastructure, and policy frameworks that will enable organizations to implement preservation metadata strategies practically at a local level.

Resumen: U.S. government agencies are creating new digital government information services, many through collaboration and partnerships within and outside the government. Massive digitization and digital preservation initiatives are proposed or in process. Support for eGovernment at the highest levels is creating opportunities for innovation and impetus for change in the way government information and official publications are created and made available. Initiatives discussed in the presentation will include two government-supported partnerships: the National Biological Information Infrastructure and the United States Government Printing Office national digitization plan followed by an overview of a cross-government partnership Science.gov. These innovative US Government systems and programs provide new value added access and retrieval options to U.S. government information which was previously unavailable or time consuming to locate.

Resumen: Congress authorized the Library of Congress to undertake the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) to prevent the loss of our digital heritage. This work, as with all digital preservation activities, is challenging because of technical issues and also because traditionally there have been few effective collaborative mechanisms to leverage resources and expertise. NDIIPP aims to address both issues while also ensuring the preservation of at-risk digital content. Concrete steps have been taken recently with the establishment of eight partnership consortia, each of which has committed to working with the other and the Library on collaborative digital preservation initiatives. The eight consortia represent the formal launch of an NDIIPP national network of preservation partners. Currently, NDIIPP is exploring how best to involve states and territories in the network.

Resumen: Las estrategias de gestión y de conservación preventiva de los documentos electrónicos. La preservación y la garantía del acceso a la información numérica producida por las instituciones en operaciones de numerización de las colecciones o publicadas únicamente bajo forma electrónica es una preocupación mayor de todos los organismos que tienen una misión de memoria de patrimonio científico y cultural. El documento numérico,es como el documento clássico, vehicuiado y almacenado en un soporte que debe ser objeto de medidas de conservación preventiva, pero sobretodo lo amenaza la obsoleseencia tecnológica más rápida que el envejecimiento del soporte. Las técnicas de migración de la codificación de los soportes y de los contenidos intelectuales de los objetos numéricos y/o de emulación de las plataformas de acceso a estos contenidos pueden aplicarse. El modelo de referencla de los sistemas de archivamiento para la preservación a largo plazo de todos los documentos, comprendidos los documentos numéricos, está en curso de nomialización internacional ISO. Es en este modelo en el que se apoyan todos los progra-mas de investigación en biblioteca para definir las funciones y los datos de gestión de un sistema de arehivamiento de objetos numéricos que completa los sistemas de gestión de biblioteca. El objetivo es definir los componentes normalizados de un sistema fiable de gestión de los objetos numéricos que pueda garantizar la preservación y el acceso a largo plazo.

Descriptores: Preservación digital/Conservación/Restauración/Patrimonio bibliográfico/Archivos

Resumen: Archivists and librarians play a critical role in preserving and making accessible cultural resources, but there is now an uncertainty as to whether their traditional expertise is sufficient when dealing with digital resources. A particular focus of concern is the authenticity of these resources. This article looks at how the concept of authenticity has been constructed in traditional environments, and specifically by philosophers, art conservators, textual critics,judges, and legislators. It is organized around three broad definitions of authenticity: authentic as true to oneself; authentic as original; and authentic as trustworthy statement of fact. The examination of these definitions of authenticity and their interpretation in different contexts suggests that authenticity is best understood as a social construction that has been put into place to achieve a particular aim. Its structures and goals vary from one field to the next and from one age to another. The article concludes that digital resources are comparable to traditional cultural resources such as art works, literary texts, and business records; they are in a continuous state of becoming and their authenticity is contingent and changeable.

Descriptores: World Wide Web/Preservación digital

Resumen: The Web is a virtually infinite information space, and archiving its entirety, all its aspects, is a utopia. The volume of information presents a challenge, but it is neither the only nor the most limiting factor given the continuous drop in storage device costs. Significant challenges lie in the management and technical issues of the location and collection of Web sites. As a consequence of this, archiving the Web is a task that no single institution can carry out alone. This article will presentvarious approaches undertaken today by different institutions; it will discuss their focuses, strengths, and limits, as well as a model for appraisal and identifying potential complementary aspects amongst them. A comparison for discovery accuracy is presented between the snapshot approach done by the Internet Archive (IA) and the event-based collection done by the Biblioth que Nationale de France (BNF) in 2002 for the presidential and parliamentary elections. The balanced conclusion of this comparison allows for identification of future direction for improvement of the former approach.

Both projects are using data grids to implement data management infrastructure that can manage technology evolution. Data grids are software systems that provide persistent names to digital entities, manage data that are distributed across multiple types of storage systems, and provide support for preservation metadata. A persistent archive federates multiple data grids to provide the fault tolerance and disaster recovery mechanisms essential for long-term preservation. The capabilities of the prototype persistent archives will be presented, along with examples of how the capabilities are used to support the preservation of email, Web crawls, office products, image collections, and electronic records.

Resumen: The aim of legal deposit is to ensure the preservation of and access to a nation's intellectual and cultural heritage ayer time. There is a global trend towards extending legal deposit to cover digital publications in arder to maintain comprehensive national archives. However, including digital publications in legal deposit regulations is not enough to ensure the long-term preservation of these publications. Indeed, there are many practical difficulties associated with the entire deposit process. Concepts, principIes and practices that are accepted and understood in the print environment, such as publication, publisher, place of publication and edition, may have new meanings or no longer be appropriate in a networked environment. Mechanisms for identifying, selecting and depositing digital material either do not exist or are inappropriate for some kinds of digital publication. There is a great deal of work on developing digital preservation strategies; ibis is at an early stage. National and other deposit libraries are at the forefront of research and development in ibis afea, often in partnership with other libraries, publishers and technology vendors. Most of ibis activity is of a technical nature. There is some work on developing policies and strategies for managing digital resources. However, not all management issues or users' needs are being addressed.

Resumen: Attitudes appear to be changing in the museum world about the preservation of cultural objects and of the cultures to which these objects are connected. The intangible nature of cultural objects is being addressed and is seen as equal in importance to, or in some cases greater, than an object's tangible nature. This significant trend in cultural heritage preservation is increasingly evident in professional conferences, publications, and discussions, and is beginning to have an impact on preservation methodologies. It is affecting the way preservation professionals approach their work and manage collections. Understanding, respect, and collaboration are more important than ever in carrying out work. Understanding all aspects of the nature of the significance of objects, respecting an object's intangible as well as tangible nature, and collaborating in a meaningful way with the cultural groups to which the items are connected are playing an increasingly prominent role. In this article I shall address a few of the insights I have gained regarding cultural heritage preservation. I will talk about cultural considerations in the care of objects, particularly those of indigenous people, and the questions these considerations raise for all of us who are charged with the protection of cultural heritage. Because I shall be discussing cultures different from mine, I will use the voices of people from those various cultures as much as possible. My examples will be mostly American Indian, but I shall refer in more general terms to other cultures as well. Of course the specific practices of different cultures vary, but the considerations and issues these practices raise are similar. I would like to acknowledge at the outset the American Indian people who provided gracious and patient guidance

Resumen: Purpose ? The purpose of this article and the subsequent research within the Russian State Library, was to determine whether the scanning process influences the state of library documents ? a question asked by librarians and scanning personnel alike. Design/methodology/approach ? The biological stability, mechanical and thermal properties of three types of paper were investigated after digitizing by three scanners (Minolta PS 7000, Bookeye and Epson JT 9000) used in the Russian State Library. Findings ? It was discovered that there were differences in the scanned paper properties in the comparison with control samples just after the digitizing and during natural and artificial aging. The conclusion is made that this treatment influences paper surface and may accelerate its decomposition. Practical implications ? It is possible to draw conclusions that digitizing promotes the onset of paper destruction, and artificial ageing catalyzes this process, i.e. stability of scanned samples will decrease in time. Originality/value ? This paper contributes to the discussion of providing access to original documents through digitization preserving and the effects on paper of the scanning process. It should be welcomed by both librarians responsible for digitization and manufacturers of scanning equipment alike.

Resumen: A primary role of national libraries is to document the published output of their respective countries. Traditionally, this has meant collecting, describing, and preserving for future generations at least one copy of every item published in print, including books, serials, newspapers, maps, music, posters, and pamphlets. In the last decade, online publishing has had a revolutionary impact on the creation, publication (dissemination), and use of information. This has presented libraries, particularly national (deposit) libraries and other cultural collecting institutions, with the daunting task of collecting, storing, describing, managing, and preserving the vast quantities of information that are being produced online.

Resumen: The first question that needs to be addressed when discussing the digital preservation of e-prints is 'do we need to preserve e-prints at all?' Whilst many people in the digital preservation community may instinctively answer this question 'yes', or at least 'some of them', many people from the e-prints community would say 'no', or at least 'preservation should not be a priority'. This paper addresses the question of whether or not e-prints should be preserved and then goes on to make some comments about the practical issues that arise from the suggested answer.

Resumen: It has been suggested that institutional e-print services will become an important way of achieving the wide availability of e-prints across a broad range of subject disciplines. However, as yet there are few exemplars of this sort of service. This paper describes how physicists make use of an established centralized subject-based e-prints service, arXiv (formerly known as the Los Alamos XXX service), and discusses the possible implications of this use for institutional multidisciplinary e-print archives. A number of key points are identified, including technical issues (such as file formats and user interface design), management issues (such as submission procedures and administrative staff support), economic issues (such as installation and support costs), quality issues (such as peer review and quality control criteria), policy issues (such as digital preservation and collection development standards), academic issues (such as scholarly communication cultures and publishing trends), and legal issues (such as copyright and intellectual property rights). These are discussed with reference to the project to set up a pilot institutional e-print service at the University of Nottingham, UK. This project is being used as a pragmatic way of investigating the issues surrounding institutional e-print services, particularly in seeing how flexible the e-prints model actually is and how easily it can adapt itself to disciplines other than physics.

Resumen: In 1996, the Netherlands Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences initiated a collaborative programme entitled Digital Longevity (Digitale Duurzaamheid). This programme, run in conjunction with the National Archives, sponsored Jeff Rothenberg's 1999 publication, Carrying Authentic, Understandable and Usable Records Through Time, which proposed establishing a testbed to carry out research into possible approaches for the long term digital preservation of archival records. The Digital Preservation Testbed (Testbed Digitale Bewaring) was born the following year.

Descriptores: Gestión de la colección/Preservación digital

Resumen: One of the major roles adopted by libraries is the long-term preservation of selected material within their collections. Traditionally, this role comprised identifying individual physical objects or collections based upon the library’s own view of its role and the significance of items in its collections. With the rapid growth of digital materials there has been a blurring of the divide between museum, archive and library collections, with a growing concern amongst all cultural heritage sectors about the identification and ongoing preservation of digital objects. Due to the size and complexity of the issues and, in particular, the volume of digital material and costs involved in its long-term preservation, there has been a resurgence in the debate on identifying significance in materials and thus their priority in preservation programs. This debate has sparked widespread discussion in the museum, archives and record-keeping professions which can inform the more recent concerns now being voiced within librarianship. This paper looks at the concept of significance within all of the ‘memory institutions’ and considers
how the theory is shaped, how it has been put into practice and the applicability of such a notion to digital preservation.

Descriptores: Preservación digital/Conservación/Restauración/Patrimonio bibliográfico/Formación profesional

Resumen: From 1995 to 2005, the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) presented its School for Scanning conference eleven times in cities across the United Slates, serving a total of nearly four thousand professionals. The program addressed a seemingly insatiable need for training on building, managing, and preserving digital collections. Because the conference was presented by an organization whose mission is preservation, the emphasis was on standards, quality, and assuring long-term access to digital collections. Since 1995 the content of the conference has evolved as institutional digitization programs have matured and as standards and best practices have developed. The succession of conference agendas provides a series of snapshots of the effort that has gone into bringing digital programs into being. This article, originally written as a paper for the 2006 Congress of the International Federation of Library Associations [IFLA] in Seoul, Korea, looks at how the needs of the audience changed over the decade. It evaluates the factors that have contributed to the school's ongoing success and at current challenges to this continuing education program as the experience level of professions in the field advances rapidly.

Descriptores: Preservacion digital/Depósito legal

Resumen: On 3rd May 2006 the rules for the implementation of the new Italian law on legal deposit (law nr. 106/2004) have been approved. This law re­places, at last, the ancient one, conceived during the fascist regime and come in force in 1939. The big delay in updating it depended on the ambiguous modernization of Italian society (the so called “modernization without development”), whose symptoms are, in historical perspective, a highly bureaucratic public administration and a political élite that shows little interest in public good. The article suggests a pragmatic approach to the application of the new law, toward a “process for creation of the National Archive” where the whole editorial production of Italy could be comprehended by means of a decentraliz­ed organization of deposit institutions. The work would have to be carried out using the principles of “business process reengineering”. It ought to treat not only monographs and serials, but also the great (and nowadays increasing) amount of publications and documents – prin­t­e­d or on-line, however very “volatile” – produced by non-profit institutions, local groups, social, professional, political organizations etcetera. In this way, the new law on legal deposit could become a great opportunity for the Italian library system, in order to rethink the concept of national collection, to improve the conservation of the national herit­age, making it really useful for cultural, social and economic development. “Books and libraries – writes the author – serve not only to know the past, but also to understand the present and project the future.”

Resumen: The Folk Heritage Collections in Crisis conference pursued three themes: access, preservation, and intellectual property. The 100 invited participants were mainly middle-aged, established, upper-echelon professionals. What is interesting is how much agreement there was on issues like digital preservation and the use of Encoded Archival Description. Participants saw the US copyright law as a barrier which neither upheld the rights of people of nonEuropean origin, flor facilitated the free movement of information.

Resumen:  Todo sistema de preservación concebido como una solución final, incluso si resuelve todos los problemas de obsolescencia y fragilidad de los medios conocidos, va a devenir inevitablemente obsoleto en un período de tiempo relativamente corto desde el punto de vista archivístico. Por esta razón, cualquier solución al reto de la preservación digital debe incorporar la capacidad de acomodarse a los cambios tecnológicos, e incorporar los nuevos productos que generen las tecnologías de la información, hoy por hoy imposibles de predecir. Lo único relativamente perdurable en una solución de preservación digital es el esquema conceptual que se aplique, acorde con la naturaleza de una determinada organización, es decir la estrategia.

Resumen: Since its beginnings as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Networking Club in April 1994, the BBC's Web site has grown to over two million pages. While bbc.co.uk inarguably offers a valuable source of information, entertainment, and education for its users and provides an online arena for peer-to-peer communication, it also brings into focus the challenge of digital preservation. Apart from the sheer volume of material the site represents, the nature of that material is forever changing both to reflect editorial strategy and to benefit from new technologies and improved production techniques. To support its own internal business requirements and to satisfy external legislative requirements, the BBC's Information and Archives Department is building a Legal and Historical Internet Archive System to capture a selection of content as it is published to the 'live' site. This article looks at how the design and development of that system supports the preservation of heterogeneous digital material in the wider context of archiving the BBC's new media output.

Resumen: The amount of digital content produced at academic research institutions is large, and libraries and archives at these institutions have a responsibility to bring this digital material under curatorial control in order to manage and preserve it over time. But this is a daunting task with few proven models, requiring new technology, policies, procedures, core staff competencies, and cost models. The MIT Libraries are working with the DSpace (TM) open-source digital repository platform to explore the problem of capturing research and teaching material in any digital format and preserving it over time. By collaborating on this problem with other research institutions using the DSpace platform in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and other parts of the world, as well as with other important efforts in the digital preservation arena, we are beginning to see ways of managing arbitrary digital content that might make digital preservation an achievable goal.

Resumen: Research journals are increasingly being published digitally. The advantage of digital publishing is obvious: immediate accessibility anywhere. Gradually a disadvantage is also becoming clear: digital publishing endangers the continuity of research information. As a consequence of the obsolescence of formats, hardware, software, and carriers, digital information will be lost unless we act. Digital publishing is also causing a shift in the roles and responsibilities of publishers and libraries concerned with archiving digital publications for future use. Archiving digital publications requires a major turnaround in the policy and practice of national libraries. Although some actions have been taken, digital preservation research and implementation are still in their infancy. National libraries will need substantial funding for venture research activities and development of archival infrastructures. They will also have to work together more closely to successfully organize digital archiving in the twenty-first century.

Resumen:  The selection, acquisition, and management of digital data are now part and parcel of the work librarians handle on a day-to-day basis. While much thought goes into this work, little consideration may be given to the long-term preservation of the collected data. Digital data cannot be retained for the future in the same way paper-based materials have traditionally been handled. Specific issues arise when archiving digital data and especially geospatial data. This article will discuss some of those issues, including data versioning, file size, proprietary data formats, copyright, and the complexity of file formats. Collection development topics, including what to collect and why, will also be explored. The work underlying this article is being done as part of an award from the Library of Congress's National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP).

Resumen: As the IFLA Guidelines for Audiovisual and Multimedia Materials in Libraries and other Institutions remind us, access to audiovisual materials should be as open and free as access to print-based materials. However, such a reality is little more than a dream for the moment. The nature of audiovisual and multimedia materials is such that methods useful for organising print-based materials do not work well when applied to audiovisual and multimedia materials, and much work remains to be done in developing adequate ways to provide good access to users. InterPARES2 is an international research project with 74 researchers in 15 countries on 4 continents. It focuses on records produced in complex digital environments in the course of artistic, scientific and e-government activities. As part of the work of Inter- PARES2, the Moving Image Case Study attempts to model the production processes of making moving images, to identify the documentation created at each stage of the process, and to reflect upon useful metadata for managing this documentation.

The establishment of the initiative, called National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), formally recognizes the importance of digital preservation at the highest level and promises guidance through project outcomes and published research in the years to come (see Editor's Interview). While the Library of Congress engages in some heavy lifting to benefit the entire community, the constituents of the community cannot afford to remain passive. With digital preservation looming large on the national agenda, understanding the terminology and standards emerging in the field becomes the ticket for following or participating in the upcoming discussions.

After years of discussing the problem and possible solutions, the last few years have seen an increase in actions that are taken to set up digital archives, organize the management of digital resources and define strategies for permanent access. This means now is a good time to take inventory and define best practices, evaluate emerging standards and describe issues that need extra attention.sitan más atención.

Resumen:  The term digital preservation is viewed by many as an oxyrnoron. ACKERMAN & FIELDlNG assert that fue long-term maintenance of digital docurnents will pose significantly more difficult challenges than collection maintenance for paper-based materials. However, a great deal of research on digital preservation issues is currently being conducted around fue world. The past several years have witnessed a significant increase in collaborative intemational efforts addressing a variety of questions on digital preservation (BERlHON & WEBB). These and similar efforts are working to make digital preservation a reality.

Resumen: Los manuscritos y primeros impresos han llegado hasta nosotros porque se hicieron en materiales duraderos, los registros electrónicos son vulnerables a la pérdida de datos y la alteración. Los investigadores puedentrabajar con la mayoría de los materiales tradicionales en la fuente original mediante diversas ediciones de un trabajo, pero no tiene las mismas posibilidades de  investigación con registros electrónicos. Los archiveros necesitan aplicar principios tradicionales de gestión de registros a documentos electrónicos, en función de que estos registros sirvan para la investigación  futura. Por demás, los archivistas deben asegurar que los registros electrónicos sean accesible independientemente de los cambios de programas como de soporte físco
