Digital Preservation of Biomedical Documents - State of the Art
With growing numbers of digital materials in our libraries, predominantly pdf-files and audiovisual files, there is a substantial need to preserve these documents for use in the future. The German National Library of Medicine (ZB MED) carried out a project together with the Technical Information Library in Hanover and the German National Library of Economics in Kiel/Hamburg using the digital preservation system Rosetta.
It has proven that the technical needs can be fulfilled with such a technological system including ingesting processes and migration processes. It is of utmost importance however to identify which documents are in stock in a library and in which conditions they are (file types and subtypes).
It has to be be discussed who should be responsible for digital preservation in each country as high workload and high costs are connected with the operation of a digital preservation system.
