Abstract
The Practical Guides for Librarians series aims to provide “authoritative, practical information and guidance on a wide spectrum of library processes and operations” [1]. Digitization and Digital Archiving: A Practical Guide for Librarians discusses equipment, storage, copyright, and challenges presented with digital archiving. It also includes a full chapter devoted to born-digital materials such as software, databases, websites and email. There are no case studies to illustrate best practices and lessons learned. If you are looking for a book that discusses the value and implementation of digital archiving in a social context, this is not the book for you. This book covers tools and methods and will be useful for library professionals and students who are interested in starting a digital archives project.
