I'm pleased to announce to the Ex-Libris community the publication of
"Born Digital: Guidance for Donors, Dealers, and Archival
Repositories" at MediaCommons Press, available at
http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/mcpress/borndigital/. A
collaborative effort of archivists and curators at six institutions,
the guide "offers recommendations to help ensure the physical and
intellectual well being of born-digital materials transferred from
donors to archival repositories" (from the introduction).
"Born Digital" has been published at MediaCommons in part because its
authors hope that it represents a site for conversation about
born-digital materials among dealers in rare books, manuscripts, and
archives, archivists and curators, potential donors of such materials,
educators, students, and others. The MediaCommons interface offers
the capability to comment on each section of the document. The
authors encourage commenting on any section of the report, and look
forward to discussion and questions.
