Key topics include: * Making the case for digital preservation * Understanding your requirements * Models for implementing a digital preservation service * Selecting and acquiring digital objects * Accessioning and ingesting digital objects * Describing digital objects * Preserving digital objects * Providing access to users * Future trends. Readership: Anyone involved in digital preservation and those wanting to get a better understanding of the process, students studying library and information science (LIS), archives and records management courses and academics getting to grips with practical issues.
