The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), US, has released an archive of the webcast to complement the recently released report in the New Roles for New Times series, "Digital Curation for Preservation." The webcast, “New Roles for Research Libraries: Digital Curation for Preservation", featured a reactor panel that explored and expanded on key findings and recommendations in the report.
Authored by Tyler Walters and Katherine Skinner, the report looks at how libraries are developing new roles and services in the arena of digital curation for preservation. The authors describe emerging strategies for libraries and librarians and highlight collaborative approaches through a series of case studies of key programmes and projects. Issues and developments within and across the sciences and humanities are considered. This is the first report in the New Roles for New Times series.
ARL is a nonprofit organization of 126 research libraries in the US and Canada. Its mission is to influence the changing environment of scholarly communication and the public policies that affect research libraries and the diverse communities they serve.
