“…- Conway (1996) Preservation is arguably the single biggest challenge facing everyone who creates, maintains, or relies on digital information. Awareness of the immense scope of the potential preservation crisis has brought many groups together to experiment with new preservation strategies and technologies.…”

projects, how they are currently being transferred into the digital environment to address issues that include the following: ¢ life cycle control of high-volume, dynamic multimedia collections of borndigital and digitized materials, from creation through final disposition; ¢ establishment and preservation of the integrity of digital materials; ¢ identification and preservation of the evidential value of digital materials through design, description, preservation, and evaluation of information systems, ¢ exploitation of context and hierarchy in the design and use of digital materials; ¢ elucidation of the nature, genesis, and use of digital materials by their creators; and¢ identification and exploitation of the interdependencies among digital materials, related nondigital materials, and their metadata.The report concludes with a discussion of what is needed from the archival, library, and other information communities engaged in the development and preservation of digital resources in order to achieve the full potential of cross-community dialog and development.

“…The dependency of the ESLC on technology is something that will not change. As such, the problems of updating the materials for viewing by new technologies, keeping down-time to a minimum and archiving, all need to be considered (Conway, 1996). However, as before, it is certain that technologies and the skills of the populations that use them are improving all the time.…”

Reports on a comparative cost benefit analysis of the paper short loan collection and the ACORN electronic short loan collection at Loughborough University. Describes the tasks associated with the creation and maintenance of each collection; analyses those tasks for related costs, drawing particularly on the experiences of Project ACORN; and then compares the advantages of each collection type. Concludes that although the electronic collection is currently more expensive to maintain, the benefits of electronic access to high demand material could be seen to justify those costs, and that in time-as technologies improve and associated costs decrease-it is likely that electronic collections will provide a cost· effective value-added service for libraries and their users.

“…One can readily acknowledge the impressive amount of work within those communities over several decades on the preservation of digital materials. See, for example, Bearman and Hedstrom (1993), Conway (1994Conway ( , 1996a, Conway and Weaver (1994), Dollar (1976Dollar ( , 1992, Fishbein (1974Fishbein ( , 1975, Hedstrom (1991Hedstrom ( , 1995, Hedstrom and Kowlowitz (1988), Kenney (1993), Mohlhenrich (1993), Neavill (1984), O'Toole (1989) and United States National Historical Publications and Research Commission (1991). After reviewing the evidence, one can still hold, as the Task Force does, that the development of widely trusted systems for the preservation of digital information is still in its infancy.…”
