Re: Seek for comment



Let me introduce myself. I am the Assistant Librarian II in the Open University of Hong Kong. Our library is going to make the text documents (such as minutes, papers, reports) in digital format for easy retrieval in the web.

I was just wondering what the resolution/file format for images should be so that the archived materials can be stored permanently for 7-10 years.

1. Are there recommended/standard resolutions for text documents (mostly in black & white) for archive purpose (for storage not viewing), or are you just supposed to experiment and see?

2. Which file format should I be choose for storage? Have anyone heard about the PNG (Portable Network Graphics), the replacement of GIF? Will it be a suitable or reliable format for "archive materials"? Any pros & cons can be suggested?

Your comment please.
Thanks & regards,
