Title A name given to the resource The Future of History: Investigating the Preservation of Information in the Digital Age Subject The topic of the resource Curation Description An account of the resource The following article goes into detail regarding a study that was conducted to “the challenges of preserving information in the digital age, and explores how this may affect the future of historical knowledge.” The study itself is the result of “a series of semi-structured interviews with forty-one historians, archivists, librarians, and web researchers.” That said, it is important to keep in mind that the results as whole argue against historical records having association with the term ‘digital black hole’ in both connotative and denotative meanings. Instead, its focus should center on “the importance of the issue for the future of history, and the complexity of the solutions to be adopted.” Especially in regard to education, planning, as well as the cooperation between historians and the information professions. For instance, many of the issues revolve around things like certain hardware and software being out of date and current law(s) make it very hard for memory institutions to not only capture but preserve digital material. Then there’s the preexisting legal framework which does not reflect the “digital age”. Not to mention, challenges within social and cultural domains. That’s why trying to figure out the answer to questions like “What can be done today to ensure future historians will have access to a rich historical record so they can tell the story of our time to future generations?"

And partly because of the imaging process, which is already demanding on its own; but the fact that it “must be done with oversight by preservation staff and with a high enough level of quality to ensure the reusability of the archival electronic file for as long as possible.” That said, the key focus will be on “the scope and needs of digital preservation, and various types of available preservation methods.” Preceded by approaches that can help a person when encountering technological issues. As a result of information and communication technology altering the ways in which teaching and scholarly research is done. Especially when considering that “digital information and resources through scholarships are in so many different ways that often we struggle to clearly identify the impact and articulate the implications.” What’s more, Libraries who themselves are a source of information have increased the amount of digital information they have “both as supplements to and parallels of print material.” Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available i-manager Publications Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July-Sept, 2005 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Hannah Baker Type The nature or genre of the resource Journal Article Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Digital Preservation: The Library Perspective Subject The topic of the resource Curation Description An account of the resource Colin Meddings of Oxford University Press conducted research within the academic library community on digital preservation and what their opinions were regarding the matter. Specifically focusing on digital preservation in term of “the preservation of electronic scholarly literature with the goal of ensuring materials remain accessible to future scholars, researchers, and students.” As a means of building “on and complement recent research done by the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) into publisher strategies for preservation.” That said, the basis of the survey involved librarians from across the world sharing information on what it is their libraries doing “in regard to digital preservation, as well as opinions on digital preservation issues.” As a result of that, findings have shown that the situation around digital preservation is an ongoing evolution, highlighting the need for additional/continuous education on digital preservation issues. Due to the fact that, the number of online journals is equal to or less than the ever-present changes in the journals supply, content licensed in an electronic format among other things.

Title A name given to the resource The Apparatus Criticus in the Digital Age Subject The topic of the resource Curation Description An account of the resource The focus of this article is to help eliminate several of the limitations that a traditional print has by providing a new model that suits the digital age. All the while giving readers the chance to participate in an active role regarding their own texts. Not only that, discussions on possibilities as well as prospects for the apparatus criticus regarding text editing and ways to easily access some of the benefits digital scholarships provides. That said, the author starts off by explaining an apparatus criticus and how most don’t even read them by comparing it to how people (usually college students when doing research papers) don’t check let alone read footnotes. So, to change that and get more readers engaged, the author proposes a way to fix that by outlining “what editors and readers can gain from a fundamentally new approach to the apparatus criticus.” In other words, the author wants to “somehow to record every little detail but only to confront the reader with the most important points.” The only problem with that is not every (print) editor does things the same way, some might put only what’s considered important while the rest is in the appendix. As a result, the author will show how he is able to go around that through an explained model throughout the rest of the article.

Title A name given to the resource Conserving Digital Resources: Issues and Future Access Subject The topic of the resource Copyright Description An account of the resource The following article explores the issues surrounding digital preservation. Especially when it comes to deciding what should and shouldn’t be preserved. In addition to that, it is important to note the ease in which something published online can be shared. Unlike something that was physically published/printed thus limiting who has access to it. As a result, the design of an archive requires constant though necessary management of activities over a long period of time. However, for that to work, guidelines need to be put in place prior to it being put into practice. As it helps with figuring out what to collect and save because not only does it limit system overload it keeps unnecessary things from getting in. That’s not to say that what wasn’t selected isn’t important, it just that like physical books it’d be really hard to save everything. On the flip side, “Born digital data is too voluminous and too fragile to be left to the caprice of short-term needs and priorities.” So, to help those who might be looking at something in the future saving selectively is key. That way just enough is needed to provide an accurate record, which is why looking at issues in various ways is essential.

Title A name given to the resource New Challenges For The Archiving Of Digital Writing Description An account of the resource This article focuses on the new challenges that have surfaced for the archiving of digital writing besides the already present challenge of the constant changing software and what strategies to use to conquer those challenges. Some strategies include microfilming born-digital media or the preservation of the plainest possible digital formats that still comprise the inherent values of the original such as transcoding the text files into American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), or the Portable Document Format (PDF). Another possible strategy is the conservation through replication of the original software and hardware and environment. This article greatly emphasizes on the backup of digital copies through replication, but more specifically through emulation--the imitation of obsolete hardware.

In her most recent entry, "The present and future of audiovisual archives: Screening the Future 2012, Los Angeles," she discusses critical archiving issues including: challenges of digital preservation and updating metadata for researching audio-visual data, social implications of personal digital archiving, and using digital archives as critical reading and media literacy. Yun embeds links to the diverse digital archives, software tools, and web sites of the presenters she features in her blogs, including her own publications and presentations. Her belief that "most primary sources belong in the hands (or on the screens) of users," and her mission as an archivist to "add context and longevity" to records of historic value are both evident in the information and educational service her blog provides its users.

Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource 17th century English royalist and diplomat, Sir Richard Fanshawe, left a rich collection of letters and papers to his wife that during the next centuries became dispersed and scattered. The acquisition of these scattered documents by a 20th century local history museum neglected to include the equally rich historical context of each "collector" and their collections of these scattered remnants. This neglect of assigning provenance and misinterpreting the concept of the fonds provides Geoffrey Yeo a case study for defending traditional archival standards. Yeo argues that rather than ignore such concepts as "fonds" and "provenance" when building archival collections, including those digitally-based, these concepts should be used to distinguish the original context and creators of the collections. Yeo explains the custodial history of a collection provides historical context and significant insight into the successive transfers of ownership. Collection descriptions should, therefore, include the custodial history, or provenance.

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. Yeo persuasively argues that traditional archival standards, particularly the fonds and provenance, should guide the development of contemporary archives. Despite the dynamic nature of digital collections and the potential for dispersing the original order of a collection, archivists provide historical context when they establish the provenance of a collection.

Title A name given to the resource Introduction to Metadata: Online Edition, Version 3.0 Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource Metadata is considered one of the most important assets of digital archives and is becoming increasingly familiar to the public at large. User-contributed metadata in the form of tagging, bookmarks, and even historic documentation for online museum exhibits is considered valuable for its outsider perspective as long as minimal standards are maintained. <em>Introduction to Metadata</em> defines metadata as a dynamic, expandable set of fields describing and organizing digital objects (data about data). Each chapter reiterates the necessity for creating richly detailed metadata uniquely schematized for the individual item but sufficiently standardized to ensure the object’s preservation and original context. In addition to providing a rationale and set of principles for creating good metadata, the authors also explain how metadata mapping (syntactically and semantically) achieves interoperability between different hardware and software systems. Assuring the public continuing access to cultural heritage data depends upon open archival information standards, which require incremental stages and a high degree of sharing and collaboration. One of the biggest obstacles to achieving interoperability and long-term preservation and access is intellectual property rights. “Rights metadata” records critical copyright and edition information that promotes not only compliance with intellectual property laws, but also promotes responsible stewardship of the data. Abstract A summary of the resource. This revised edition of Introduction to Metadata, first published in 1998 and updated in an online version in 2000, provides an overview of metadata -- its types, roles, and characteristics; a discussion of metadata as it relates to Web resources; a description of methods, tools, standards, and protocols for publishing and disseminating digital collections; and a handy glossary. Newly added to this edition are an essay on the importance of standards-based rights metadata for cultural institutions; and a section entitled "Practical Principles for Metadata Creation and Maintenance."

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 authors successfully convey the message that metadata is more than a routine part of the digital archiving workflow (although that is an essential principle) and that it also provides a bridge between the demands for standardization and unique schemas, and integrates non-expert generated content with traditional archival standards. Metadata preserves the legitimacy and authority of public archives while also adapting to the participatory logic and technical challenges of the Internet. The extension of the Dublin Core elements and adaptation of its fields in DAR exemplifies metadata's flexibility and essential intellectual value to this archive. archival standards cultural heritage history metadata
