29
Q

Problems of Digital Preservation

A

Hardware and software or data getting out of date and corruption or deterioration of storage media over time

30
Q

Solutions for the Problems of Digital Preservation

A

Technology preservation, emulation, migration

31
Q

Making sure that all users have access to all the information which they are entitled to use, and no more

A

Access Rights

32
Q

Problems in Digital Environment

A

Contents are usually licensed, not owned, different users may have access to different materials; and some digital resources are
‘composite’, drawn from different sources

33
Q

Metadata

A

Literally ‘data about data’, information about information resources,
including the contents of digital libraries

34
Q

Metadata Format

A

A

Dublin Core

36
Q

Used to encode information about the preservation and archiving of
digital material in repositories and digital libraries

38
Q

Planning Steps

A
  1. Define need, purpose and user community
  2. Select and analyze source materials
  3. Determine digital library collection requirements and features
  4. Plan approach to digitization
  5. Determine resource requirements for project implementation
  6. Prepare implementation schedule and timeline
39
Q

Why is planning important?

A

Planning for digital libraries and repositories helps identify tasks related to the creation of the digital library, develop strategies for handling these tasks, and determine resources required and a timeline for accomplishing these tasks.

42
Q

Is a process in which a library gathers metadata records from other libraries and repositories, so that they can be searched as a part of the library’s own collection.

A

Harvesting
