Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: This book offers a comprehensive, entry-level guide for librarians and archivists who have found themselves managing, or are planning on manage, born-digital content. Libraries and archives of all sizes are collecting and managing an increasing proportion of digital content. Within this body of digital content is a growing pool of 'born-digital' content: content that has been created and has often existed solely in digital form. The No-Nonsense Guide to Born-Digital Content explains step-by-step processes for developing and implementing born-digital content workflows in library and archive settings of all sizes and includes a range of case studies collected from small, medium and large institutions internationally. |
