    A nice collection of information for those new to the concept of digital preservation, as well as some tools to get your institution started.

    An interesting organization but sounds ultimately like a variation of the LOCKKS concept, namely preserving a digital archive by means of multiple copies on data nodes, so if one fails others step in to replace it.

  • I recently conducted a focus group with local authors, and put this proposition to them: * Would you consider DONATING a single copy of your ebook file to the library if we agree to... * Preserve, review, recommend, and digitally display it; * Buy an extra copy for every four people who are waiting for it; * Put a "click here to buy" button in our catalog, with the understanding that you'll share in the revenue of the sale (say, we take 10% AND YOU GET 90%). Guess what? They said, "Yes." Are we talking to the right people?

    Since ALA President Maureen Sullivan threw down the proverbial gauntlet to publishers and they've picked it up, there's been a lot of inspired responses.  Jamie LaRue has a radical one himself-- circumvent the publishers, and ask the authors how they'd like their electronic books to be distributed. It's a bold proposition (posing the question, "Are publishers necessary?"), but certainly a way for libraries to work with authors to maximize their profits.
