“…También es crucial el papel de los archivos nacionales National Archives and Record Administration (NARA), con la elaboración de un sistema de archivo electrónico (ERA). La Stanford University creó en 2001 el sistema Lockss que mediante una red cerrada peer to peer permite la replicación de datos científi cos y su preservación (Seadle, 2006). La University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) y la University of California, San Diego (UCSD) están elaborando el sistema iRODS que, de forma similar al anterior, utiliza los recursos de las redes GRID para asegurar la preservación de grandes volúmenes de datos.…”

Investigación y desarrollo en preservación digital: un balance internacional Title: Research and development in digital preservation: an international review Abstract: The article presents a survey of international research studies and development in digital preservation, devoting a section to the situation in Spain. The author outlines applications in areas such as institutional repositories, administrative records, personal archives, aerospace industry and museum archives, but the greatest attention is given to digital preservation applications in libraries and archives. The pre-eminent role of certain libraries and the national archives and records of certain countries is evident in an analysis of the protagonists of this research, as well as the emerging role of software companies. The major lines of research include the integration of tools to create integrated preservation systems.

DOI: 10.3145/epi.2009 Artículo recibido el 27-05-09 Aceptación definitiva: 13-10-09 AntecedentesDesde mediados de la década de 1990 distintas instituciones y empresas están estudiando el problema de la preservación futura de los documentos digitales. La expansión de este tipo de documentos ha llevado a que en determinados ámbitos su presencia sea mayoritaria y por tanto se convierta en ineludible su conservación por razones patrimoniales, culturales, jurídicas o de otro tipo.La preservación digital es una tarea no sólo de archiveros y bibliotecarios sino de todos los actores relacionados con la creación, gestión y uso de cada documento digital. La preservación digital supone, en relación con la conservación de los documentos en papel, un importante reto tecnológico, pero también de otros tipos: legal (¿se pueden descompilar los programas informáticos para facilitar su conservación?), económico (¿quién fi nanciará las actuaciones de preservación?), organizativo (¿de quién es la responsabilidad de cada acción? ¿cómo se asegura la continuidad de las decisiones?) (Keefer; Gallart, 2007).Centrándonos en los aspectos técnicos, las principales estrategias de preservación utilizadas son la recopia, la migración de formatos y la emulación en plataformas diferentes a la original, de sistemas y software (Rothenberg, 1999; Serra-Serra, 2001; SerraSerra, 2008). A diferencia de los documentos tradicionales (impresos, fotografías), en los documentos digitales debe distinguirse entre el soporte físico de los datos (disco magnético, disco óptico, etc.) y los fi cheros propiamente dichos, creados según unos formatos y normas concretos. Ante la continua obsolescencia de los soportes no cabe otra solución que la migración de 614 Miquel TérmensEl profesional de la información, v. 18, n. 6, noviembre-diciembre 2009 ...

“…As Seadle states, this initiative "offers a community-based rather than a corporate approach." 97 He expands to explain that LOCKSS constitutes a network of libraries using the same open-source software. This software both archives the source files of participating publishers and maintains the integrity of these files by comparing the contents of each libraries' LOCKSS archive with the archives of other libraries in the network.…”

From Innovation to Transformation

The changes occurring range from the shifting nature of serial collections to evolving models, initiatives, and management strategies used to acquire and administer access to these collections. According to Plutchak, serials librarianship and scholarly communication as a whole are currently in a period of innovation in which emerging technologies are ceasing their emulation of the past and revealing extraordinary new possibilities.1 Plutchak believes that this period will culminate in the transformation of scholarly communication so that technology "overturns the capabilities that were previously thought to be the pinnacle, and brand new ways of doing things become possible."2 From this perspective, the 2006-7 serials literature might be said to offer a first, nascent glimpse of the landscape stretching before libraries as they pioneer their way from a period of innovation to one of transformation. Indeed, there is a prevailing sentiment in the literature that libraries have advanced well beyond the confines of printcentered models in their strategies for acquiring and administering serial access. The literature shows libraries assuming new roles, imagining new possibilities, and developing new solutions. This paper, the latest entry in LRTS' ongoing series reviewing the serials literature, starts where Genereux's review of the 2004-5 literature left off.3 It examines the peer-reviewed and professional literature of serials librarianship published in 2006 and 2007. The primary resource for identifying publications to include in the review was Library Literature and Information Science. In addition, citations in publication reference lists, postings on electronic discussion lists, and serendipitous discovery all contributed to forming the body of literature that was examined. Within this body of literature, the criteria for selecting publications to review was based on the author's judgment of which publications most fully exemplify the leading trends in and contributions to serials librarianship's literature. The first section of the review, "Collections and Concepts," takes a broad perspective, surveying the forces that the literature indicates are reshaping the nature of serials in libraries. Specifically, it reviews changes in the use, formats, and cost of serials and analyzes the effect of these changes on how serials are defined. The next section, "Acquisition," considers the literature's discussion of the evolving means through which serial access is acquired. In addition to assessing the current state of publisher packages, it gives particular attention to the effect of the open access (OA) movement and acquisition models that shift emphasis from ownership to access. The third section, "Access," examines publications describing libraries' three primary serial access points: online catalogs, link resolvers, and metasearch engines. The fourth section, "Management," reviews the literature's discussion of how the managers of serial collections are responding to new challenges and opportunities. It focuses on...

“…The cache data is available only as a fallback system in case the publishers repository access fails. The cache content is subjected to the same legal agreement as the original journal subscription to make sure that readers are not distributed any data that they do not have access rights to, thus maintaining the integrity of the content [69].…”
