Overview
•The bottom line
•Digitally encoded information in research libraries
•Digital preservation challenges & opportunities
![Page 3: The value of digitally encoded information for libraries](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2ffe94a79599b7e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
but, of course, scholarship is changing
• Collaborative
• Interdisciplinary
• Change in information seeking behaviour (Google Generation)
• Culture of ‘openness’

The bottom line
“one thing about scholarship will never change: scholars will demand access to information resources to examine what others have discovered and thought; to use and reuse evidence and scientific conclusions; and to publish results of their own research based on these resources. That is why their sources must be authentic, reliable, easy to find and retrieve, and easy to use and reuse”
Paul N. Courant (2008) No brief candle, http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub142/pub142.pdf

No. 1 benefit to organisations*
“Increased use of content as a result of better findability and availability”
*From APARSEN WP36 survey of libraries (Sep212)
![Page 6: The value of digitally encoded information for libraries](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2ffe94a79599b7e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
No. 2 benefit to organisations
“Ensure the integrity of research results”

Types of digitally encoded information
• Scholarly discourse
• Digital cultural heritage
• Research data
• Dynamic Web content
![Page 8: The value of digitally encoded information for libraries](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2ffe94a79599b7e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Investment in digitisation
• All European cultural heritage available online by 2025 (Neelie Kroes)
• All public domain masterpieces available in Europeana(Digital Agenda)
• Cost= 10 billion per year over the next 10 years (Collections Trust)
![Page 9: The value of digitally encoded information for libraries](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2ffe94a79599b7e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Increasing access and availability: some examples
•Europeana Libraries• Aggregating digitised contentfrom European research library• Developing and applying best practice standards in metadata• Making it available via api and • a portal designed for researchers
3,319,045 pages598,130 books and theses368,000 articles848,078 images1,200 film and video clips34,000 mixed content objects

some examples…
• Europeana Newspapers• 18 million newspapers• OCR’d full text newspaper content from across Europe• Content browser
![Page 11: The value of digitally encoded information for libraries](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2ffe94a79599b7e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Making the content accessible
• OCR enables full text searching
• OLR enables more targeted searching (titles and sections)
• NER enables searching by people, place,and the discover of new relationships between entities

Issues
• If access is the final objective it can only be achieved through preservation of the work
• 22% of cultural heritage institutes have long term DP strategy in place
• Need for a strong business case and PPP
• Shared infrastructure needed• No final solution – R&D, turn strategies
into action, work with private sector (obsolescense)

Research data
• Changing the role of libraries
- demand for data management support
-data curation
- trusted infrastructure for collaboration and data sharing

No preservation strategies!*

Realising the value of digitally encoded information

Do/Will preservation mandates make a difference?
What should a shared preservation infrastructure look like?
