Wactlar and Michael G. Christel 80 iv Preface Libraries traditionally have formed a preservation safety net for materials that will be transmitted to subsequent generations of information seekers and scholars. For paper-based documents, provision of adequate storage condi- tions was the best means to help ensure that materials would remain readable far into the future. With the advent of digital technology, many knowledge creators do their work on computers. Some of that knowledge may be printedon paper, but much of it, particularly databases, geographic information, scientific data sets, and Web sites, exists only in electronic form. At the same time, tradition- al forms of publications have changed significantly and,as a result, create new challenges. For example, publishers of electronic journals license their content to libraries, but libraries do not own that content and theymay not have rights to capture digital content to preserve it. What organizations or systems will provide the needed preservation safe- ty net for electronic materials? Recognizing the importance of this question, the U.S. Congress in December 2000 appropriated funds to the Library of Congress (LC) to spearhead an effort to develop a national strategy for the preservation of digital information. Understanding that the task cannot be accomplished by any one organization, Congress wrote into the appropria- tions language a requirement that LC work with other federal, scholarly, and nonprofit organizations to discuss the problem and producea plan. The staff of the Library of Congress immediately scheduleda series of conversations with representatives from the technology, business, entertain- ment, academic, legal, archival, and library communities. LC asked the Coun- cil on Library and Information Resources to commission backgroundpapers for these sessions and to summarize the meetings. The resultingpapers, along with an integrative essay by Amy Friedlander,are presented in this document. The responsibility for preserving digital information will be distributed broadly. Our hope is that information gathered by the Library of Congress will benefit all who are working on this issue. Deanna Marcum, President, CUR Laura Campbell, Director, National Digital Library Program Library of Congress 1 Summary of Findings Amy Friedlander Center for Information Strategy and Policy Science Applications International Corporation The late twentieth century saw the beginning of the age of dig- ital information in corporate archives, the creative arts, fi- nancial markets, medical information, and scholarship, among other venues. How the United Stateschooses to preserve and manage its digital information affects core issuesin key industries from medical textbook publishing to entertainment and to future scholarship in science, technology, and the arts and humanities. It profoundly affects how the future will come to know our present and is, therefore, integral to the nation's identity, now and to come. In this terrain, the Library of Congress (LC) has chosento open its investigations with a series of probes into six principal areas in which the LC faces collection-management issues: large Web sites, electronic books, electronic journals, digitally recorded sound, digital film, and digital television. This chapter summarizes what a series of interviews and papers, conducted and written during the late sum- mer and early fall 2001, revealed about acomplex and shifting landscape. Formal 30-minute interviews and shorter conversations and e- mail exchanges were conducted with individuals who represent a range of interests and organizations acrosspublishing, film, enter- tainment, news, electronic books, computer science, libraries, corpo- rate research, nonprofit organizations, professional andtrade associ- ations, and academe. Their names and primary affiliations are listed on page 9. (Note that corporate representativesfrequently sit on the boards of nonprofit and cultural organizations, and many communi- ties therefore inform their perspectives.) Most people talked about several concerns and formats; thus, we have abandoned any efforts to characterize responses exclusively by format (e.g.,e-books or e- journals, Web sites, digital film, digital TV, digitally recorded sound), profession, or organization. 7 2 Building a National Strategy for Digital Preservation Information gained from the interviewswas complemented by six "environmental scans"

  • The Four Paths to Publishing
    THE FOUR PATHS TO PUBLISHING Revolutionary changes and unprecedented opportunities in publishing have established four clear paths that authors follow to achieve their publishing goals. by Keith Ogorek Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Author Solutions, Inc. The past four years have brought about more upheaval in the publishing industry than the previous 400 years combined. From the time Gutenberg invented the printing press until the introduction of the paperback about 70 years ago, there weren’t many groundbreaking innovations. However, in the last few years, the publishing world has undergone an indie revolution similar to what occurred in the film and music industries. With the introduction of desktop publishing, print-on-demand technology, and the Internet as a direct-to-consumer distribution channel, publishing became a service consumers could purchase, instead of an industry solely dependent on middlemen (agents) and buyers (traditional publishers). In addition, the exponential growth of e-books and digital readers has accelerated change, because physical stores are no longer the only way for authors to connect with readers. While these changes have made now the best time in history to be an author, they have also made it one of the most confusing times to be an author. Not that long ago, there was only one way to get published: find an agent; hope he or she would represent you; pray they sell your book proposal to a publisher; trust the publisher to get behind the book and believe in the project; and hope that readers would go to their local bookstore and buy your book.

  • 1. Victor Turner Lists These Three Aspects of Culture As “Exception- Ally Well Endowed with Ritual Symbols and Beliefs of Non-Structural Type” ( Dramas 231)
    Notes Introduction 1. Victor Turner lists these three aspects of culture as “exception- ally well endowed with ritual symbols and beliefs of non-structural type” ( Dramas 231). 2. Coatlicue (“Lady of the Serpent Skirt”) is an Aztec Mother Goddess associated with death. 3. According to Turner, an example of the institutionalization of liminality may be found in the monastic and mendicant states in various world religions ( The Ritual 107). 4. Walker, Encyclopedia 1077. 5. All translations from Spanish, Portuguese, French, Catalan, Polish, Russian, and Latin in this book are by the author, unless otherwise indicated. 6. For further discussion on this issue, see Sarlo 32–33 and Franco 223. 7. For a discussion of the sweetening of Kā l ī , see chapter 2 of this book. 8. Erndl, “The Play of the Mother” 152, among others. 9. I use the word “cult” to mean “devotion,” in the same way that culto is used in Spanish. 10. In spite of the great similarities among these divinities, there is no cross-cultural book in English or in any other language that discusses and compares Baba Yaga, K ā l ī , Pombagira, and Santa Muerte in the United States or in any other country. In fact, there is not even a work that links any two of them. While there are studies that discuss the Hindu goddess Kā l ī , such as Encountering K ā l ī by McDermott and Kripal, eds., Oh Terrifying Mother by Sarah Caldwell, and Kali by Elizabeth U. Harding, one book on Baba Yaga (Baba Yaga by Andreas Johns), one on Pombagira (Holy Harlots by Kelly Hayes), and one on Santa Muerte ( Devoted to Death by Andrew Chesnut), they focus exclu- sively on the Indian subcontinent, Russia, Brazil, and Mexico, respectively.

  • The Future of Mathematical Communication by Joe Christy One
    The Future of Mathematical Communication by Joe Christy One of the first fruits of cooperation with LBL was the use of the MBone (Multi-Cast Backbone) to broadcast the Conference on the Future of Mathematical Communication, held at MSRI November 30-December 3, 1994. Stu Loken of LBL was one of the organizers of the meeting (along with Joe Christy, David Hoffman, John Gage, Andrew Odlyzko, and Richard Palais), and Van Jacobson of LBL, one of the fathers of the MBone, was one of the principal speakers. Late last fall, MSRI brought together more than 150 mathematicians, librarians, software developers, representatives of scholarly societies, and both commercial and not-for-profit publishers to discuss the revolution in scholarly communication brought about by digital technology. The conference was funded by the Department of Energy, the National, Science Foundation, and the Paul and Gabriella Rosenbaum Foundation. It focused on the impact of the technological revolution on mathematics, but necessarily included issues of a much wider scope. There were talks on electronic publishing, collaboration across the Internet, economic and intellectual property issues, and various new technologies which promise to carry the revolution forward. There were panel discussions of electronic documents in mathematics, the unique nature of electronic journals, technological tools, and the role of scholarly societies. There were focus groups on Developing Countries, K-12 Education, Libraries, and Tex. The meeting also embodied the promises of the revolution; it was multicast over the MBone channel of the Internet to hundreds of sites around the world and much information on the conference will be on is available our World Wide Web server at the URL http : / /www.
