Launch of the NASIG Model Digital Preservation Policy

Abstract

Digital preservation is a significant issue if scholarship is to remain available to future users. All organizations involved in scholarly production and dissemination have a role to play. Champions are needed to raise awareness and engage stakeholders. To help, the NASIG Digital Preservation Committee has developed a Model Digital Preservation Policy. This tool is designed to help you measure, grow, and publicize your organization’s commitment to preserving its scholarship. It includes advice on identifying and taking first steps, more advanced options and activities, and opportunities to share and refine professional experiences.
