It may play a role of an introductory textbook in modern digital preservation in addition to its direct more applied function." -- Information Research "This book is very well-written in a style that lends itself to easy comprehension. It is an essential reference resource for anyone needing a basic, yet thorough, overview of the complex subjects of digital curation and digital preservation.
