Digital curation for libraries and archives,

摘要

Stacy T. Kowalczyk's Digital Curation for Libraries and Archives provides a broad overview of the digital curation landscape. With a heavy focus on digital preservation, Kowalczyk introduces readers to both the theoretical and technical implications of digital curation. The work is broken down into sections designed to walk practitioners through the digital preservation lifecycle from initial planning to practice. The addition of discussion questions, glossary, and teacher's handbook are designed to make the work useful for instructors in library schools. While the topics covered are of great interest to those currently engaged in digital curation, this particular book does not quite achieve the author's stated goal of creating either a textbook for current students or a handbook for working practitioners.
