Abstract

Research institutions are under pressure to make their outputs more accessible in order to meet funding requirements and policy guidelines. Libraries have traditionally played an important role by exposing research output through a predominantly institution-based digital repository, with an emphasis on storing published works. New publishing paradigms are emerging that include research data, huge volumes of which are being generated globally. Repositories are the natural home for managing, storing and describing institutional research content. New Content in Digital Repositories explores the d

Abstract

There is a complex and contested terrain of cultural heritage in the library, archive and museum context. Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage explores this landscape and covers perspectives from museums, archives and libraries, highlighting the role of memory and contested history in the collection, description and presentation of cultural heritage. The book argues that the convergence of libraries, archives and museums in digital preservation should be extended to include the development of combined lifelong learning programmes, teaching both information literacy skills and awareness o

Abstract

Alors que les capacités de stockage n'ont jamais été aussi vastes et bon marché, alors que les données numériques sont véritablement le cerveau et le système nerveux du monde, rares sont les interrogations sur la préservation à long terme de toute l'information numérique. Cette question soulève un problème de plus en plus important : nos sociétés produisent des masses croissantes d'information, alors même que la durée de vie des supports numériques disponibles pour la conserver n'a jamais été aussi courte. Le stockage ou la sauvegarde à court terme ne soulèvent pas de question particulière, mais archiver de cette façon sur des décennies ou un siècle pose un tout autre problème, dans la mesure où les supports numériques n'ont qu'une durée de vie de 5 ou 10 ans environ. L'évolution de ces supports étant difficile à prévoir, seul un suivi constant des données et leur migration perpétuelle permettront d'en assurer l'archivage, avec un coût d'organisation important. Si ce problème est correctement abordé dans quelques organismes publics spécialisés, il est très largement ignoré du grand public ainsi que de la majorité des institutions ou entreprises. Une importante quantité d'informations personnelles, médicales, scientifiques, techniques, administratives, etc., est ainsi en réel danger de disparition. Devant ce constat, l'Académie des sciences et l'Académie des technologies ont créé un groupe de travail commun, avec l'ambition de faire le point sur le sujet. Le présent rapport se donne un périmètre précis en se concentrant sur la fraction de l'information qui garde sa valeur à long terme : documents soit personnels (souvenirs familiaux, données médicales, .), soit publics (données scientifiques acquises lors d'expériences uniques, .). Les stratégies possibles sont discutées et les différents supports de stockage utilisables sont passés en revue, avec une brève discussion de leurs qualités et limitations respectives. Le rapport évalue également la possible généralisation de la stratégie active à l'ensemble des besoins de la société. Enfin sont étudiés les disques optiques numériques enregistrables, pour lesquels une série de mesures alarmantes a été effectuée récemment. Les auteurs proposent quelques pistes qui pourraient conduire à des disques enregistrables de bien meilleure longévité et émettent quatre recommandations de nature à faire prendre conscience de ce problème général et des voies possibles pour le résoudre.

Abstract

Recent OCLC surveys show that less than 2 percent of library users begin their search on a library website, which is why search engine optimization (SEO) is so crucial. And though a survey of faculty researchers at four major universities showed that most consider Google and Google Scholar amazingly effective for their research, low Google Scholar indexing ratios for library institutional repositories is widespread because it ignores common library metadata. Arlitsch and OBrien, who have presented and published widely on the topic, show how to ensure that high-value content is visible to resea
