Trevor Owens, Head of Digital Content Management at the Library of Congress, enjoins that '[l]ibrarians, archivists and museum professionals need to collectively move away from thinking about digital, and in particular born-digital, as being niche topics for specialists'(xi).

And, while there is an increasing number of resources dealing with the various aspects of digital curation, there has yet to be a concise guide to equip the struggling professional with the tools necessary to develop and implement their own digital preservation policies and plans.

It comes with a useful list of acronyms and glossary of terms for quick consultation and is a fairly gentle introduction to managing born-digital content from start to finish.
