Reconeixement de la digitalització com a un mètode de preservació per reformatatge

L'Association of Research Libraries (ARL) considera la digitalització com a una opció acceptada per a la preservació de diferents materials mitjançant el reformatatge ("reformatting"). Aquest document l'ha redactat un conjunt d'experts de diferents universitats, amb comentaris d'especialistes en preservació, amb l'objectiu de facilitar el desenvolupament i implementació de polítiques, estàndards, guies i millors pràctiques on encara no s'apliquen. L'informe s'adreça principalment a la preservació del material en suport paper però també a com preservar, a través del reformatatge, materials que actualment es troben en diversos suports. Ofereix un estudi comparatiu de diferents tecnologies que poden ajudar a prendre una decisió sobre quina estratègia de preservació cal seguir, enumera quins beneficis comporta la digitalització per a la preservació, proporciona una introducció als estàndards i millors pràctiques de reformatatge digital i en descriu l'estat actual així com els compromisos que s'adopten per a la preservació a llarg termini. Finalment dóna a conèixer els webs de projectes i iniciatives més rellevants en la matèria.

New laws for author's rights: adequate for digital preservation?

Introduction. Besides technical and economic-organisational problems, digital preservation also faces legal issues, especially regarding copyright legislation, since all digital preservation strategies involve copying materials and/or using software which is typically copyrighted. The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the extent to which current copyright laws meet the preservation requirements of library materials..Methodology. A cross-sectional analysis of recently updated national copyright laws as well as the impact of the other two protection methods: contractual and technological.Results. Even after the latest updates current copyright legislation is almost useless for digital preservation activities since the opportunities provided by WIPO Copyright Treaty to adapt and extend copyright exceptions and limitations have been used to the full.Conclusion. We need a legislation reform that will make it possible to carry out all required copying and communication activities and software use, even if circumventing technological protection is needed. But that is not enough for licensed works. The best solution for this kind of work is to include specific clauses in the licences that facilitate preservation activities. Thus, cooperation between both parties, libraries and rights' holders, is essential.

Apontamentos sobre bibliotecas em escolas do campo no Estado do Paraná

This paper presents the partial results of an investigation about school libraries in countryside schools of the public educational system in the state of Parana. The work is based on reflections about the literature related to the theme and the analysis of this reality. It aims at characterizing the subjects of the countryside school, the physical space, materials and common practices at the school libraries. The work describes the influence of the aspects aforementioned on the existence, planning and development of activities, also describing their contribution to the formation process of school subjects. The investigation also performs a descriptive field research, employing direct observation and the application of a survey in 425 countryside schools, considering a total number of 2120 schools in the Parana school system. The survey obtained a return rate of 83% from representatives of public countryside schools in Parana. The results indicated that the schools need a project for reading and writing, in which the library would be engaged. The paper argues that state and the university should contribute to the formation of the professionals of the institution and that the school library should be open to the community, acting both as a service provider and a stimulator of writing and reading practices. The investigation concludes that it is necessary to 'occupy the libraries of the countryside schools', understanding them not only as a communication spot, but also as a place for knowledge production. Furthermore, the authors suggest the library materials should be produced locally and that the state should turn this practice into a public policy.
