RLG Digital Preservation Report
The report "Digital Preservation Needs and Requirements in RLG Member
Institutions" is available on the RLG Web site
<<http://www.thames.rlg.org/preserv/digpres.html>http://www.thames.rlg.org/
preserv/digpres.html from Europe>.
This report contains the results of the 1998 study of RLG members'
current practices, needs, and plans for preserving their
growing collections of digital holdings.
The study, conducted during 1998 by Margaret Hedstrom,
Associate Professor at the School of Information, University of
Michigan, and Sheon Montgomery, Graduate Research Assistant, is
based on an extensive written survey - to which 54 members
responded - plus phone interviews with over a dozen collection
administrators. The result is an up-to-date, carefully interpreted
picture of the current state of digital preservation
and the key concerns and expectations from an
international cross-section of the RLG membership.
The report is available in two versions: an HTML document for
online browsing or a PDF document optimized for printing.

Humanists,
Much press has been devoted to XML and related, emerging standards as of late.
Most of it is pretty bad. A rare exception is an article in this month's
Scientific American, which gives a good, generalized, layman's intro to the
topic. Read it on-line at:
