Corrado and Moulaison Sandy's work on digital preservation sheds new light on how to create and sustain a digital preservation program. Focusing on the inter-connected areas of management, technology and content the `digital preservation triad' provides libraries, archives and museums with an useful model for approaching just about any type of digital preservation issue. -- Erik Mitchell, Associate University Librarian, Director of Digital Initiatives and Collaborative Services, University of California, Berkeley This very thorough and well researched book on digital preservation is for libraries, archives and museums of all sizes. It covers a wide range of digital preservation topics which will prove useful for managers and technical staff alike. The foreword to the book states that digital preservation is not a problem but an opportunity. The topics covered in this book help the reader understand how to implement these opportunities within their own organization. Digital preservation cannot be done in isolation from the rest of the organization; it needs to be an integral part of the whole. The authors demonstrate that with the proper resources and technical expertise, organizations can preserve "today's digital content long into the future." -- Chris Erickson, University Digital Preservation Officer Corrado and Moulaison Sandy provide a broad view of digital preservation, beyond the technical aspects of bit-level preservation, and capture expertly the interrelatedness of content, technology, and management. Digital Preservation for Libraries, Archives, and Museums is an essential resource for librarians, archivists, and curators involved in planning and managing digital preservation activities. Recommended for faculty and students in library and information science programs, especially for courses in digital libraries, digital preservation, digitization, and data curation. -- Krystyna Matusiak, Assistant Professor, Library and Information Science Program, University of Denver
