To help new archivists and genealogists with what can be a daunting
process, Digitization and Digital Archiving: A Practical Guide for
Librarians answers common questions, including: 1. What should be
stored? 2. Where and how should it be stored? 3. How exactly is
information stored in a computer? 4. How does copyright law affect
archiving? 5. How can metadata be used to improve collection
access? This revised second edition has been updated to address new
trends and the latest innovations in technology, including: 1. A
brand-new chapter addressing different common types of born-digital
materials which a librarian may need to archive, such as databases
or websites 2. Information about identifying and gathering data
from floppy disks, an increasingly important task as this
technology ages and its data becomes at greater risk of loss 3.
Fully updated chapters to address the latest changes in file
storage and formats, including more information on the storage of
audio and video media 4. Interesting information about the origins
of different common technologies to help the reader better
understand the past, present, and future of computer technology
This is a comprehensive guide to the process of digital storage and
archiving. Assuming only basic computer knowledge, this guide walks
the reader through everything he or she needs to know to start or
maintain a digital archiving project. Any librarian interested in
how digital information is stored can benefit from this guide.
