Carmen Cowick is the director of preservation services at Preserve This, where she provides training, support, and consulting services for libraries in the areas of preservation and collections care. Cowick has had several articles published in peer-reviewed journals and has given presentations at both regional and national professional conferences on preservation-related topics.
Overall, the book serves as an informative introduction to digital curation and should ably guide information professionals at institutions with both emergent and established digital collections programs. The real strength of the book is its emphasis on digital curation as an ongoing effort that needs to be integrated into organizational policies, procedures, and workflows—not just one-off projects to make some old photographs available online. The book offers plenty of help to jump-start information professionals new to digital curation. * Archival Issues * This guide offers practical information and tips for heritage institutions interested in preserving and providing digital access to their historic treasures. In addition to basic information about digitization, digital presentation, and curation, Cowick (a preservationist at Preserve This) explains fundamental concepts and presents advantages of digitizing. * Choice Reviews *
