'The book covers varied types of born-digital content such as that found on obsolete media, 3D modelling, audio, relational databases, email as well as internet-based offerings such as websites and Twitter. I appreciated the comment, Every bit of digital information is encoded in a physical space (p.22).' -- Elizabeth Charlton * Archifacts * 'By adopting a phased approach to the topic of digital preservation Heather Ryan and Walker Sampson help to empower the reader to embark on some born-digital content management from the outset, an intention which is clearly supported by key sections within the book including a range of case studies, a comprehensive glossary of common technical terms, and an appendix containing resources for further research...In addition to archival professionals this book would provide useful reading for museum professionals, data managers, librarians and of course, anyone tasked with the role of managing born-digital content.' -- Alice MacDonald * Catholic Archives * '...there is value for everyone in the well-reasoned discussions about overarching strategies, policies, and processes, which are necessary before any of the capturing and processing of resources can begin...Recommended. Graduate students and professionals.'- H. C. Williams, University of Washington, CHOICE -- H. C. Williams * CHOICE * 'In short, Ryan and Sampson synthesize a myriad of community practices and highly technical documentation, standards, and models into clear prose with minimal jargon, and they make a substantial contribution to the professional literature. I anticipate that The No-Nonsense Guide to Born-Digital Content will prove to be a valuable resource in and outside of the classroom for many years to come.' -- Blake Graham * The American Archivist * 'Overall, I found the book a well-written and engaging guide to what can be an intimidating subject...I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get to grips with born-digital content but it should be used as a guide to familiarise yourself with the basics and seen as a starting point for new avenues of exploration.' -- Emily Chen * Taylor & Francis Online *
