Learning Objectives
Following this session, participants will be able to understand and articulate the quick wins and remaining obstacles to preserving ebooks in all formats, understand the methods of preservation, legal issues, content types, and delivery mechanisms. They will be able to ask the right questions of their ebook providers and their preservation initiatives and demand that resonable measures be taken to ensure preservation of scholarly content.
Abstract
As libraries purchase more ebooks, ensuring their longterm preservation is key. Some can be preserved using standards created for journals, but ebooks with dynamic/enhanced content, often more like databases, require further development. Learn how CLOCKSS preserves ebooks, and why publishers and libraries find ebook preservation to be so essential.
