Are you concerned about the dangers of losing
our fragile digital heritage?
The National Library of Australia invites all those with an interest
in ensuring continuing access to digital information to visit the
PADI website: <http://www.nla.gov.au/padi/>.
In response to a growing recognition of the need to safeguard digital
heritage, the National Library of Australia established its Preserving
Access to Digital Information (PADI) website in 1997. The Library has
recently redeveloped this site into a comprehensive 'subject gateway'
with more powerful search capabilities and efficient maintenance
processes that will help the Library keep it up-to-date.
Cooperation has played a crucial role in the PADI initiative that has
been carried out in partnership with Australian and international
experts. Users are now invited to suggest resources for the PADI
database using a new online form.
A new discussion list, padiforum-l, has been set up for the exchange
of news and ideas about digital preservation issues. Subscribers are
encouraged to post digital preservation news, including announcements
of forthcoming events, to padiforum-l. Discussion on all aspects of
preserving access to digital information is also welcome.
To subscribe to padiforum-l:
1. send an email to listproc@nla.gov.au;
2. leave the subject line blank;
3. type in the first line of the message: 'subscribe padiforum-l [your name]'.
For further information about the PADI initiative, including padiforum-l,
please contact the PADI Coordinator, email: padi@nla.gov.au.
