With multiple digital preservation solutions and strategies now available to libraries, research institutions, and cultural heritage institutions, how do members of the community select the right solution or solutions to best secure their content? How do service providers such as APTrust, Chronopolis, the Digital Preservation Network (DPN), DuraSpace, MetaArchive, Stanford Digital Repository, and the Texas Digital Library make clear to the community how the services they offer are unique and how they fit together in collaborative ways? How do large content repositories such as HathiTrust fit into the ecosystem? What kinds of information would the community find helpful as they make important and costly decisions for the preservation of the valuable digital content in libraries and cultural heritage institutions? What distinguishes the community based solutions from the commercial digital preservation solutions offered by vendors? These and other questions will be discussed in this community forum. We are committed to continuing the conversation beyond this session and to putting forth effort toward developing solutions collectively to preserve our cultural and academic digital record.
