Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preservation of library and archival materials can encompass everything from bookbinding and paper repair to new techniques for maintaining and exploiting digital text, sound or images. Managing Preservation for Libraries and Archives brings together an international team of contributors presenting the latest findings on key areas of preservation and addressing the most common storage and retrieval problems for different types of media. The authors also revisit traditional preservation and conservation approaches and suggest how to develop policies for the future. First summarising historical developments, the book sets out key preservation principles, rationales for selecting materials for preservation, and how to choose the best methods. Different contributors report on state-of-the-art preservation techniques for paper media and sound archives, explain how the appropriate techniques can be applied and how storage and access can best be managed in the long term. Later chapters analyse the benefits and problems of digitising different types of materials; the long-term viability of digital media; issues of access to digital surrogate documents as opposed to the original medium; and the challenges in the digital context of bibliographical control, cataloguing, metadata, distribution and copyright protection. An extensive chapter on international information sources provides signposting to a wealth of guidance on the latest techniques. Managing Preservation for Libraries and Archives will guide readers working in the library, archives, museum and heritage sectors through the choices between digital and traditional preservation techniques, and prepare them for likely future developments in managing both preservation and access.

Download or read book Newspapers in the Library written by Lois N. Upham and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers in the Library discusses the use and handling of newspapers in libraries and information centers. Although newspapers are increasingly recognized as an important, even unequaled, source of information about current history and local events, they have been largely ignored by information specialists. Individuals who work with newspapers on a daily basis--as tools in research or as an ingredient in a larger process--have contributed valuable chapters on bibliographical and physical control of newspapers, working with newspapers in a variety of settings, and international, educational, and technical aspects of using and handling newspapers. A significant resource for scholars, authors, researchers, and information specialists, this volume will help them provide access to and protection of newspapers, and it will encourage them to continue work on this unique resource.
