you might consider circulating it on the arl-list in one form or
another.

===========
The Electronic Libraries programme (eLib) publication of the digital
preservation study undertaken by the AHDS Executive on behalf of the
Digital Archiving Working Party of the UK's Joint Information Systems
Committee, British Library, and National Preservation Office is now
available. The study outlines a strategic policy framework for
creating and preserving digital collections and recommends good
practice to those involved in the creation, management, or long-term
preservation of digital information which will form our cultural and
intellectual heritage in the "digital age". Included in the report
are six case studies based on a series of fifteen interviews with
organizations and individuals involved in major data creation
projects and digital preservation worldwide.
High Praise for this Report:
"The study presents thirteen recommendations in the areas of
long-term digital preservation, standards, the policy framework, and
future research. Six case studies highlight some of the real-life
considerations concerning digital preservation. At a time when
content providers and libraries are racing headlong toward
digitization of information resources, this study provides critical
guidance."
Scout Report, Volume 5, Number 2, 8 May 1998
"This study...has received international recognition and will almost
certainly continue to be a key strategic document for those concerned
with preserving digital materials"
NPO Journal Issue 4 May 99, 12-3
