Summary: Digital Preservation for Libraries, Archives, & Museums is designed for all types of information professionals who are interested in digital preservation. 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 (not technology; not how-to; not theory) I wish I had known before I got started. It is divided into four parts based on the Digital Preservation Triad. The book includes a foreword by Michael Lesk, eminent scholar and forerunner in digital librarianship and preservation. The book features an appendix providing additional information and resources for digital preservationists. Finally, there is a glossary to support a clear understanding of the terms presented in the book. Readers will find answers to questions that you might not have even known you had, leading to more successful digital preservation initiatives.
