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.

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.

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.

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 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.
