But this is a daunting task with few proven models, requiring new technology, policies, procedures, core staff competencies, and cost models. The MIT Libraries are working with the DSpace(TM) open-source digital repository platform to explore the problem of capturing research and teaching material in any digital format and preserving it over time. By collaborating on this problem with other research institutions using the DSpace platform in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and other parts of the world, as well as with other important efforts in the digital preservation arena, we are beginning to see ways of managing arbitrary digital content that might make digital preservation an achievable goal. 2005-12-28T15:41:10Z 2005-12-28T15:41:10Z 2005 Article 00242594 http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/30592 Exploring Variety in Digital Collections and the Implications for Digital Preservation; MacKenzie Smith.
