Inquiry from Lib. of Congress Regarding Digital Materials



INQUIRY FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS REGARDING DIGITAL MATERIALS.
ALL
RESPONSES SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO EMILY C. HOWIE, "emho@loc.gov".

The Library of Congress is seeking papers or sample collection
development/management policy statements concerning the acquisition,
treatment, and preservation of digital materials.  This includes
electronic
resources, such as subscription databases; e-books and e-journals;
digital
music and film; contents from the Internet; digital archival
collections;
government publication that are produced and exist exclusively in
digital
form; and CD-ROMs and videodiscs.

This information will assist the Library in developing a national
strategy
for the long-term access and preservation of digital information
content.
Development of such a plan was mandated by the United States Congress
in the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 106-554), which
established the National Digital Information Infrastructure and
Preservation
Program at the Library of Congress.

Information should be forwarded to:

Emily C. Howie
