Description: This report is part of the Web-at-Risk project. These policy and planning documents typically guide collection management within libraries and archives. Some familiar concepts and practices from collection development for non-digital materials easily transfer to collection development for web-based materials while some new concepts and unfamiliar practices are introduced. To effectively manage web collections, it is good practice to either create new policies and plans or modify existing collection policies and plans.

Description: This report discusses the curators' evaluation of WAS release 2/3, part of the Web-at-Risk project. The Web Archiving Service, WAS Release 2/3, was available to the project's curators from January 30, 2007 - February 13, 2007. During this time 19 curators trialed the service with varying frequencies, as measured by the number of capture jobs they submitted. Subsequent to their trials, 17 curators submitted a web-based survey evaluation of their experience. The survey consisted of 27 questions, divided into four sections: Site Definition, Capture, and Management; Reports and Analysis; Search and Display; 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.

Abstract: In October 1997, the University of North Texas Libraries entered into an agreement with the U.S. Government Printing Office to provide permanent public access to the electronic records of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR). As the official and the only site for ACIR electronic records, requests for historical publications of the agency are frequently received from researchers, government administrators, students, and others who find UNT Libraries electronic collection by searching the Internet. The authors propose to enhance the current ACIR electronic collection by making the most important serial titles published by the agency available as electronic documents accessible via the Internet. The serial titles are no longer in print and, to the authors' knowledge, are not available in electronic format. This digitization project will be accomplished by outsourcing high-speed, quantity scanning of approximately 4,200 pages of text. The high speed scanning will provide us with "pdf" files. The authors will then develop a method for organizing and presenting the files on the World Wide Web designed to provide broad access using the free Acrobat Reader. The authors' goal will be to develop a process that balances level of ...
