The guidelines in this document are intended to assist the Web-at-Risk's project's curators in developing plans for the collections they will create using the project's Web Archiving Service (WAS). A web collection typically consists of a group of web-sites related by a common subject, theme, or event. Librarians will notice that some familiar concepts and practices from collection planning for print materials easily transfer to collection planning for web-published materials while some new concepts and unfamiliar practices are introduced. To effectively manage collections of web-published materials, it is good practice to either create new plans or modify existing collection plans to address these concepts and practices.</p>Collection Plan Guidelines for Project Curators2011-04-28T13:31:19-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc33005/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc33005/"><img alt="Collection Plan Guidelines for Project Curators" title="Collection Plan Guidelines for Project Curators" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc33005/small/"/></a></p><p>This report is part of the Web-at-Risk project.
