Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. Bad things can happen to
good digital resources - from floods and fires to computer crashes.
Both library staff and customers are dependent on costly hardware,
software, and electronic collections. Electronic information may be
more susceptible to problems than print. Storage issues and
long-term accessibility for digital materials on dated or obsolete
hardware often can be overlooked. Without a plan for containment
and recovery, a collection or library may have to close, either
temporarily or permanently. Preservation and disaster expert Kahn
brings clear guidance and practical expertise to address libraries'
worst cases before they happen. Providing both short- and long-term
planning and preservation tips, Kahn provides critical pre-emptive
advice to help you: Protect and preserve the right information;
Adapt 29 proven, all-encompassing checklists and forms that address
the issues; Learn from real-life experiences shared in four case
studies; Keep up to date with cutting edge solutions using the
comprehensive bibliography; This is the authorltative
e-preservation resource for reference librarians, preservationists,
archivists, and records managers who create and maintain electronic
resources. Library directors and managers responsible for creating
disaster plans as well as those in computer services and
information technology departments will benefit from this
comprehensive guide.
