Re: information supporting archives space



Greetings Eric and others,

After doing a lot of reading about the subject of
digitization, I have come to the conclusion (like many
others) that digitization is about access and not
preservation. There's a wonderful publication called
"Why Digitize?" by Abby Smith (Council on Library and
Information Resources, Feb. 1999), which explains the
issue of digitization (perhaps it should be required
reading for those people talking to the VP about
digitization!)

Good luck!
