Essentials of Digital Content Management & Preservation

This book is presented with a motive of developing a complete solution for librarians and information professionals for converting print documents in digital form. When we analyze the recent trend of information professions, we find a country-wide need for digital versions of manuscripts, rare books, thesis, and dissertations in various libraries and information centers. Most of the professionals involving themselves in these new tasks do not have the proper knowledge or expertise, and are initiating the process either by themselves or by outsourcing the whole process. Due to this development, now is the appropriate time to provide a complete solution of digital preservation so that library professionals can perform the process of digitization on their own while ensuring total quality over the technical aspects of digital preservation. In this book, the author has focused on all possible and relevant theory and practical issues of digital preservation in libraries. [Subject: Library & Information Science]
