Book excerpt: Going Digital: Strategies for Access, Preservation, and Conversion of Collections to a Digital Format offers you succinct and analytic views of the problems and benefits of digital resources in the traditional academic library. Library administrators, collection managers, and librarians will learn the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and digital collections and the costs of providing local access or implementing remote access to digital collections. Originally presented at a series of five symposiums sponsored by the Research Libraries Group, the articles inGoing Digital will help you decide upon a cost-effective collection method that will meet the needs of your library, your patrons, and your budget.The chapters in this text are written by the nation’s leading librarians who pose and answer questions about hardware and software needed for digital libraries, the costs involved, establishing and maintaining access to digital collections, copyright concerns, and long-term preservation problems. Going Digital gives you insight into factors that will help you decide what will best meet the goals of your library, such as: the advantages and disadvantages of preserving microfilm and digital conversion choosing the correct hardware and software for your digital preservation program the changes required from librarians when shifting from collection development to digital resources examining the selection process for collections from perspectives of access, public service, technological requirements, and preservation ways to improve access to traditional collections cost comparisons between digital and hard copy resources devising a technical plan for successful digital conversion of projects involving the user’s wants when selecting collections for digital conversion and recognizing the central parts patrons play in the selection processIn light of the changing ways we receive and keep our information, Going Digital discusses new collection preservation criteria and suggests that access and informational values, not just deterioration, should be equal factors in selecting materials to be converted to digital form. Proving that digital collections are changing every facet of library operations, Going Digital shows you the most cost-effective way to begin a digital collection and how to choose what materials to digitize in order to provide your patrons with the information they want and need.
Book Synopsis Options for Replacing and Reformatting Deteriorated Materials by : Association of Research Libraries
Download or read book Options for Replacing and Reformatting Deteriorated Materials written by Association of Research Libraries and published by Association of Research Libr. This book was released on 1993 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This resource guide focuses on handling library materials that are too deteriorated to benefit from other preservation treatments. Hopeless case items, that would require an unreasonable amount of conservation work to fix, can be resolved through a process of reselecting items by replacing them or reformatting them. The reselection integrates preservation with collection development, acquisitions, cataloguing, circulation, and public service. The following articles are presented as guides to replacement and reformatting: (1) "Replacement for Brittle Items" (Emory University) and "Preservation Decision Making: A Descriptive Model" (Yale University) (Association of Research Libraries Office of Management Services); (2) "Brittle Book Preservation Policies" and"Replacement/Reformatting Options for Brittle and Missing Materials" (Columbia University Libraries); (3) "Cornell, Yale Advance with Digital Technologies" and "Special Report: Research on the Use of Color Microfilm" (Commission on Preservation and Access); (4) "RLG Preservation Microfilming Handbook: Operational Impact of Filming Projects on Library Units" (Nancy E. Elkington, Ed.); (5) "Preservation Microfilming" and "Preservation Decision Flow Chart" (Nancy Gwinn); and (6) "Preserving Harvard's Collections: The Acidic and Brittle Paper Problem and its Solutions" and "Preservation Workflow for a Worn, Damaged, or Deteriorated Book in the Research Collection" (Harvard University). A list of 13 selected resources recommends additional reading. (SLD)

Book Synopsis Difficult Choices by : Gerald W. George
Download or read book Difficult Choices written by Gerald W. George and published by Council on Library & Information Resources. This book was released on 1995 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report caps an 8-year initiative that has had as its goal the recruitment and formation of scholarly committees to investigate the state of decay and preservation of collections within their separate disciplines. The Commission began to investigate strategies for preservation selection in 1988. By 1995, the Commission had worked with scholars in six fields, forming scholarly advisory committees in history, art history, medieval studies, modern languages, and literature, philosophy, and Renaissance studies. Scholars in additional fields, including some of the sciences, have also been included through an interdisciplinary task force on the special problems for preserving research materials containing texts linked with images. At least two broad themes emerge in this report: the understandable reluctance of scholars to make choices because of the unpredictability of research needs, and the advisability of collaborative, cross-institutional preservation. Based on the committees' work, the report suggests that a preferred option is for the Commission to work with scholarly associations in order to take leadership responsibility for preserving materials of priority importance for their fields. These committees could also bear responsibility for promoting the preservation of its field's most important research materials, address the question of which library materials should have priority for digitization, and promote the creation of a register of library materials that have been or are being digitized. The report also contains appendices providing a bibliography of published preservation guidance, and a list of committee membership. (Author/MAS)
