ABOUT THE LECTURE:
The research library community has reached a level of maturity
in its development of digital library initiatives. We have moved
from projects and testbeds to environments that sustain library
services in a coherent fashion. All of the library services in
the analog world of selection, acquisition, organization and description,
access and preservation apply to the digital present. The digital
repository provides these services but have the additional possibility
of displacing and reinventing functions that have not been the
traditional remit of library services.
This presentation explores the development and evolution of the
digital repository, explores how digital preservation or archiving
in the repository environment fundamentally differs from the purposes
of preservation services in the past attempts to refine definitions
