Note

  • Display Note: Abstract: The Web Archiving Service, WAS Release 4, was available to the project's curators from September 18, 2007 - October 12, 2007. During this time project curators trialed the service and, subsequently, 17 curators submitted a web-based survey evaluation of their experience. The survey consisted of 25 questions, divided into four sections: Sites, Capture, Results, Collections, and Overall Release. This report summarizes the feedback received from the curators and provides details to illustrate the areas that were either confusing or problematic to them. Their recommendations as well as some considerations for future development are also included.
