- Title
NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T: THE EPHEMERAL NATURE OF DIGITAL INFORMATION.
- Authors
Schloman, Barbara F.
- Abstract
This article presents information regarding the complexities involved in the replacement of print media by a digital one. The technical problems of hardware and software facing the preservation of other digital media exist for the Web. In addition, there is the particular need to develop means to collect continuously due to the changing nature of the content and to define content given that it lacks discrete boundaries due to its embedded linkages. The CyberCemetery began in 1997 to provide permanent public access to the electronic Web sites and publications of defunct U.S. government agencies and commissions. It is a joint project of the University of North Texas Libraries and the U.S. Government Printing Office, as part of its Federal Depository Library Program.
