This ARL Report provides a look at preservation in the digital environment. In this environment, preservation may be “reconceived” and the components do sound different. Refreshment, redundancy, migration and emulation appear strange in the context of traditional library and archives preservation.

RESUMO Tem por objetivo a identificação das boas práticas de preservação digital aplicada aos repositórios institucionais (RIs), em instituições públicas de ensino e de pesquisa na região Sudeste do Brasil. Ressalta o papel da política de preservação digital nas práticas de preservação. Utiliza a pesquisa documental como método de coleta de dados nos RIs selecionados, e questionário de perguntas fechadas aplicados às instituições. Realiza análise quantitativa dos resultados, destacando as divergências aferidas entre os resultados das pesquisas. Estabelece, baseado na literatura e nos resultados obtidos, subsídios para o desenvolvimento de política de preservação digital.Palavras-chave: Preservação Digital; Repositório Institucional; DSpace; Estratégias de Preservação Digital.ABSTRACT Aims to identify good practices of digital preservation applied to institutional repositories (IRs) in public institutions of education and research in the Southeast of Brazil. Highlights the benefits of digital preservation policy in the establishment of preservation practices. It is based on documental  research methods such as data collection in selected IRs, and questionnaires in a closed questionnaire format, applied to institutions. Based on the technical literature and research results, it establishes a contribution towards the development of digital preservation policy.Keywords: Digital Preservation; Institutional Repository; DSpace; Digital Preservation Strategies

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the concept of digital preservation and traditional preservation per se and discusses various issues related to long-term preservation in a digital environment. Design/methodology/approach The study attempts to look into the various aspects of preservation in context of digital objects (borne or digitalized) especially. Bundling of an object (digital), digital storage, quality control and risk preparedness are some of the pointers studied to perceive an overall scenario for long-term preservation of an object. Findings Various methods have been suggested to deal with the issues related to long-term preservation of an object which can be used to frame an organization’s policy for long-term preservation. Originality/value The study emphasizes on collective measures incorporating traditional and digital means to ensure long-term preservation. It lists down various checklists to deal with various issues pertinent to long-term digital preservation.

Methodological Debate

This paper lies at the intersection of discussions surrounding digitally mediated research methods and transnational research projects. It contributes to the current methodological debate surrounding online interviewing by focusing on tensions and affordances involved in Skype-to-phone interviewing in a transnational research context. While the Skype-to-phone facility does indeed increase further access to global participants, complex power hierarchies and ethical concerns continue to exist in relation to technological access/infrastructure, research governance regimes in different places and interpersonal research relations. We, therefore, propose that online researchers involved in transnational research projects using Skype methods move towards consideration of multiple competing constituencies and diverse social and spatial connectivities and power hierarchies in which they are researching. These social differences and spatial registers are not swept away through research conducted in a uniform virtual digital environment; rather transnational researchers must make explicit the multiple place-based contexts of their digitally mediated research, as they shape the research process in distinct ways. Thus, specific consideration must be given to ethical concerns that emanate from transnational online research.
