Best Practices for Digital Archiving: An Information Life Cycle Approach
Gail M. Hodge. D-Lib Magazine. January 2000.
The rapid growth in the creation and dissemination of digital objects by authors, publishers, corporations, governments, librarians, archivists and museum curators has emphasized the speed and ease of short-term dissemination with little regard for the long-term preservation of digital information. This report suggests that while there are traditions of stewardship and best practices that have become institutionalized in the print environment, many of these traditions are inadequate, inappropriate or not well known among the stakeholders in the digital environment. There is a need to identify new best practices that satisfy the requirements and are practical for the various stakeholder groups involved.
