Preservation Why the Urgency?

• A National Library is a place where a nation
  nourishes its memory and exerts its imagination
  where it connects with its past and invents its
  future.
  Pierre Ryckmans

Digital Strategies

• Business process workflows, eg selection,
  acquisition, handling of digital objects
• Infrastructure for digital material, eg storage,
  access, file naming, data authentication the
  idea of the trusted repository
• Associated Digital Library activities, eg
  metadata (resource discovery, preservation,
  structural) and persistent identifiers
• Web harvesting for the capture and preservation
  of New Zealand web sites
• Bulk digitisation of textual materials
• Migration and emulation (especially of complex
  objects)

Next Steps

• Standards development
• Data model
• Extract tool
• XML representations
• Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS)
• The practical experience that NLNZ and other
  organisations will gain from managing a wide
  range of digital objects.

Preservation Why the Urgency?

• Nothing makes clearer that a library is an
  organisation, rather than a building or a
  collection, than the requirement for
  institutional commitment if electronic
  information is to have more than a fleeting
  existent.(Peter Graham)
• The real challenge is creating appropriate
  organisational contexts for action.
• (Paul Conway)
