'This book presents not only good advice on personal digital information management, but also the practice of libraries, which have begun to create services for people to help them with the daunting task of preserving their own digital records. The chapters are written by professionals who know the subject matter well and in most cases are written in clear and easy to read language. The structure helps to find the material that a reader may be interested in.' -Elena Maceviciute, Swedish School of Library and Information Science, University of Borâs * Information Research *
