DESCRIPTION
Are your digital books archived for long-term preservation? What format might best support that? Why should we be concerned about this anyway? This session will explore challenges around the digital preservation of books!
At first glance, a topic specifically related to books may seem unusual for NASIG. However, book series are continuing resources that have a significant crossover of concerns with serials, and there are lots of developments underway to support book preservation that will be of interest to libraries and library publishers.
In this webinar, a selection of expert guest speakers will discuss challenges and current developments in this space:
- Claire Holloway & Ruth Jones on how to know if/where a book is archived;
- Neil Jefferies & Alicia Wise on the draft ePub Archival standard;
- Mikael Laakso on the preservation of Open Access books.
