Title A name given to the resource Defining "born digital": an essay Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource Erway provides a succinctly defined list of fundamental tasks and issues to consider when creating and preserving digital collections. Born-digital resources are simply “items created and managed in digital form.” Erway begins his essay by describing nine basic types of born-digital items including documents, images, data sets and digital media. He accompanies each description with recommended methods for preservation, noting that some types, such as documents, may require emulating the original software that created the document. Many factors affect born-digital preservation, such as whether or not the document was created with proprietary software, the hardware and operating system are obsolescent, or how the document might be used in the future. Erway discusses key issues affecting the preservation of born-digital items by assessing the inherent risks and detailing seven fundamental archival challenges. A key issue, such as “bit rot” adds to the complexity of adapting archival standards to digital collections. Standard archival principles, including provenance, are jeopardized by loss or corruption of digital data or by the proprietary nature of some software. Documents protected by such software may not be able to provide contextual information that might be useful for establishing the document’s origins and relationships to other items in the collection. Erway also illuminates a fundamental archival challenge in balancing the creator’s right to privacy against the public right to access. In summary, Erway offers three steps for beginning a digital archive: establish basic policies for each type of born-digital item; inventory the digital collection and determine what formats and media storage ensure long-term sustainability; and seek other people and institutions developing similar digital collections.

Title A name given to the resource Preservation in the Digital Age: A Review of Preservation Literature, 2009-10 Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource In response to a ten-year gap between publishing surveys on library collections preservation, Karen F. Gracey and Miriam B. Kahn conducted an extensive review of the literature on digitization and preservation of libraries and archives. The literature includes such non-traditional sources as multimedia conference proceedings and blogs. Although their printed bibliography contains mainly traditional academic sources, including research articles and book chapters, their entire survey is available online. The authors classify the literature into categories based on areas of current professional interest and emphasize the critical issues and key resources for digital archivists, librarians, and curators. Overarching issues for preservation include the transition from being a largely custodial function to developing principles for long-term preservation and the development of tools for promoting greater intellectual access to the content. By combining curatorial principles with traditional preservation and risk management functions, digital archives, libraries, and museums are adopting similar, standardized practices. Several articles discuss the development of standard metadata schemes for multiple and heterogeneous artefacts and the corresponding open-access tool kits and consortiums dedicated to fostering systematic methods for digital preservation. Recommendations for implementing strategic planning recur throughout most of the articles, including those in the last section, “The New Preservationist.” Gracey and Kahn emphasize taking a wide view of the lifecycle and the potential uses of digital materials. One of the underlying themes is the expressed desire for robust, technical and organizational standards, matched by an awareness that universal standards, practices, funding, and digital curation skills are lagging behind the needs. Abstract A summary of the resource. This paper surveys research and professional literature on preservation-related topics published in 2009 and 2010, identifies key contributions to the field in periodicals, monographs, and research reports, and provides a guide to the changing landscape of preservation in the digital age. The authors have organized the reviewed literature into five major areas of interest: tensions in preservation work as libraries embrace digital resources, mass digitization and its effects on collections, risk management and disaster response, digital preservation and curation, and education for preservation in the digital age.

Title A name given to the resource Future Watch: Strategies for Long-Term Preservation of Electronic Records Subject The topic of the resource Digital preservation Description An account of the resource There are several varied types of electronic records, including legal documents, images, receipts, and personal correspondence that require unique methods of preservation. Hoke explains that due to rapid obsolescence of both software and hardware, long-term preservation (ten years or more) may not be possible. To further complicate the preservation of electronic records, the different institutions, and categories of collections (such as medical transactions, insurance proceedings, court cases, or personal papers) also affect their long-term maintenance. Hoke classifies these challenges to digital preservation into four main categories: storage media; hardware; software; and governance. For each category, Hoke provides examples and concludes no universal principle or procedure can be applied. For example, software companies that do not provide backwards compatibility may require emulation as opposed to migration strategies for preservation. Hoke believes governance, the infrastructure and long-term commitment to preserving a collection, is perhaps the most vulnerable category. Knowing how to assign provenance to a record that must be migrated into a new form, or anticipating future demands for different types of records are examples of the difficulties affecting governance. Planning and developing strategies for governance are addressed in the second section of Hoke’s article. In this section, he discusses several preservation strategies, including periodic migration, using archival (non-proprietary) formats, and investigating new emerging technologies (such as nickel engraving). Throughout his article, Hoke reminds the reader that solutions must be tailored to the unique needs of the institution and the specific types of electronic records. He concludes by providing four recommendations: determine the highest level of risk the institution is willing to take; assess the current effectiveness of the overall digital collection; survey the existing tools, strategies, and tactics used for preservation; and commit to long-term asset management.

Title A name given to the resource The Converging Histories and Futures of Libraries, Archives, and Museums as Seen through the Case of the Curious Collector Myron Eells Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource Michael J. Paulus, Jr., librarian and professor at Seattle Pacific University in Seattle, Washington, compares Myron Eells’ 19th century eclectic library and his method of recordkeeping to postmodern trends in contemporary libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs). These trends include establishing special collections of rare and unpublished materials in libraries, and developing selection policies and designing informative interfaces for public access in museums. Such activities were once considered institutionally specific, and following the implementation of standardized practices and principles for LAMs in the early 20th century, would not have occurred outside their respective institutions. Myron Eells, minister, educator, and collector of “curiosities,” created an extensive record of the history of our country’s northwest. He accompanied his array of materials with careful documentation, adopting an ethnographic approach to indexing his materials, based in part on his many visits to museums. In addition to his collections (cabinets), he wrote books and articles describing the history of the NW territories and its people. Paulus observes while Eells was constructing his collections and writing diaries and manuscripts, the late 19th and early 20th century libraries and museums were establishing modernist principles and standards. Libraries, museums, and archives focused on highly specialized roles and kept collections and standards separate from each other. Paulus says Eells was largely oblivious of the emerging fields of library science and museum curation, and combined his artefacts with historical and fictional literature. When his library and personal papers were donated to Whitman College, the collection was dispersed between the library and museum, without regard to provenance. With the advent of digital technology, the content, mission, and tasks of librarians, archivists, and museum curators are merging. Paulus hopes the blurring boundaries between these institutions will foster greater sharing of their collections as each adopts the other’s philosophy—to collect, preserve, interpret, and disseminate information for the public. He recognizes the potential for aggregating the widely scattered collection of Myron Eells into a digital space that could recreate his desire to capture a past for future use Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Paulus, Michael J.

Title A name given to the resource Why Digital Preservation is Important for Everyone Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource Traditional information sources such as books, photos and sculptures can easily survive for years, decades or even centuries but digital items are fragile and require special care to keep them useable. Rapid technological changes also affect digital preservation. As new technologies appear, older ones become obsolete, making it difficult to access older content. This video briefly explains why digital preservation is important for both the private individual and the public cultural heritage institution. Digital content is defined as encoded content represented as text, images, audio recordings and other formats accessible only through computer technology. Preserving digital content for the future so that it is both usable and accessible is challenging for large institutions as well as for individuals. The narrator identifies human error and technological obsolescence as major challenges, and reviews essential preservation strategies to counteract these threats to preservation. He reiterates digital items are extremely fragile, and cautions that special care is needed to keep these items usable. Digital items are also dependent upon technology; again, requiring strategic solutions to maintain availability.

Title A name given to the resource AONS II: Continuing the Trend Towards Preservation Software "Nirvana" Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource The Automatic Obsolescence Notification System, version 2 (AONS II) is a system designed by the National Library of Australia and the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories to monitor archived digital files in order to help archivists keep track of when files may become obsolete, so they may update file formats before information is lost. Pearson explains the need for this type of system, noting that “we are still far more advanced in creating digital information resources than we are in taking concrete action to preserve them.” AONS II helps archivists to deal with the practical issue of keeping digital files in updated and usable formats. Pearson discusses the PANIC (Preservation Webservices Architecture for Newmedia, Interactive Collections, and Scientific Data) model and the AONS I program that together led to the creation of AONS II. Next, he details the goals of the program and describes how the system works to track file formats and notify users of files that are in danger of becoming obsolete. Additionally, Pearson notes that AONS II is an open source program freely available for download through the SourceForge website.

Title A name given to the resource Metadata for All: Descriptive Standards and Metadata Sharing Across Libraries, Archives, and Museums Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource Elings and Günter discuss the different standards used for coding metadata among different types of institutions. They explain different systems that can be used, including the data structure systems CDWA, MARC and EAD; data content systems CCO, AACR2, and DACS; data formatting systems such as XML; and data exchange systems such as OIA. The authors explain the basics of these systems, comparing them to bottles, bottle contents, boxes of bottles, and delivery of boxes. They then give an overview of why different institutions tend to use different formats for their metadata needs, explaining that the institutions adopted these systems in response to specific needs they had based on the types of artifacts they were describing. The authors conclude by suggesting a new way of looking at different ways of using metadata not according to institution, but rather according to types of materials. Instead of categorizing the systems by library, archive, and museum, they instead categorize them by “material culture,” bibliographic, and archival materials. This promotes a more unified and translatable approach while making it clear what the purposes are behind using the different systems. Abstract A summary of the resource. Integrating digital content from libraries, archives and museums represents a persistent challenge. While the history of standards development is rife with examples of cross-community experimentation, in the end, libraries, archives and museums have developed parallel descriptive strategies for cataloguing the materials in their custody. Applying in particular data content standards by material type, and not by community affiliation, could lead to greater data interoperability within the cultural heritage community. In making this argument, the article demystifies metadata by defining and categorizing types of standards, provides a brief historical overview of the rise of descriptive standards in museums, libraries and archives, and considers the current tensions and ambitions in making descriptive practice more economic.

Digital collections pose unique preservation challenges and require an assessment of risks, both material and intellectual, as part of the planning and management policies. These entries illuminate standard archival preservation practices and present future trends. Sound A resource whose content is primarily intended to be rendered as audio.

Title A name given to the resource The Digital Public Library of America Description An account of the resource On his radio show, Kojo Knamdi interviews three people involved in the Digital Public Library of America, a project that focuses on digitizing information from libraries, museums, and archives from around the nation and making them available online. They discuss the mission of the Library as well as the technical aspects of getting institutions to work together, working with copyright law, and the actual digitizing of the millions of artifacts involved. Issues discussed include deciding what to include in digitization efforts, whether to digitize full artifacts or just metadata for reference, how to enrich digitized artifacts with additional data, and how to balance the needs of copyright holders with the mission to make the Library freely available to the public. They also discuss the inspiration of the Google Books project and issues such as access by people with disabilities, public expectations for availability of digital content, quality control, and forward migration of digital information for safekeeping. Abstract A summary of the resource. It's something of a dream for many: to digitize and make accessible the vast number of books, documents, artifacts, photos, videos, and other materials housed at thousands of different institutions across the country. The Digital Public Library of America is working on making it a reality. We explore a collaboration between libraries, museums, and archives - including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian - that aims to put it all online.

Instructional Method will typically include ways of presenting instructional materials or conducting instructional activities, patterns of learner-to-learner and learner-to-instructor interactions, and mechanisms by which group and individual levels of learning are measured. Instructional methods include all aspects of the instruction and learning processes from planning and implementation through evaluation and feedback. The Digital Public Library of America project is a massive undertaking that illustrates the growing expectations of having information available online and the importance Western society is placing on increasing digitization for both access and safekeeping. This project shows that digital archives and repositories are not an afterthought, but rather are moving to the forefront and becoming just as vital as physical collections.

Description An account of the resource Archives are collections of primary sources, cataloged and grouped for the purpose of preserving and making accessible the records of society’s cultural and historic heritage. Laura Millar, noted archivist and author of Archives principles and practices, defines the mission of archives “to acquire, preserve and make available the documentary memory of society…”(Millar 2010). These entries will focus on the explanation and description of an archive and why they are important to society. What does it mean to be an archive and what is the value of an archive?

Title A name given to the resource Archives: Principles and Practices Description An account of the resource As the “Foreword” by Geoffrey Yeo says, Millar explains archives as “the tools we can use to help us understand where we came from and where we are going” (vii). Her book explains ways of understanding and supporting archives. It sets up important elementary archiving principles for the new and seasoned archivist alike. It defines archives as “the small portion of all the information, communications, ideas and opinions people generate that are recorded and kept” (2). She describes archives as “tangible” and “concrete.” The chapters define important archival concepts, including the fonds, provenance, and original order. They also describe ways of preserving archives. Later, the book covers weeding and deaccessioning. She also discusses ways of making archives available and ends with a chapter on digital archives. While digital archives “solve” the problem of sharing the information with the public, they also create a unique situation because they have seemingly endless storage. However, one of the most important parts of archiving is selecting materials. Digital archives are often called in to question, as well, because of difficulties in tracking provenance.
