presentation and visualization, and administration of intellectual property rights (Levy and Marshall). The critical SY0-101 role of digital libraries and archives in ensuring the future accessibility of information with enduring value has taken a back seat to enhancing access to current and actively used materials. As a consequence, digital preservation remains largely experimental and replete with the risks associated with untested methods; and digital preservation requirements have not been factored into the architecture, resource allocation, or planning for digital libraries.
My assigned topic "mass storage and long-term preservation" offers fertile ground for discussing conceptual and methodological challenges facing digital libraries and archives. The two terms "mass storage" and "long-term preservation" embrace a contradiction in the current state of affairs of digital CISSP library development, representing a time bomb that threatens the long-term viability of this new type of library. New technologies for mass storage of digital information abound, yet the technologies and methods for long-term preservation of the vast and growing store of digital information lag far behind. Strategies, methods, and technologies for long-term preservation of digital information that already exist or are being discussed, designed, and developed today have yet to demonstrate the technological or economic feasibility of operating on a mass scale. Our ability to create, SSCP amass and store digital materials far exceeds our current capacity to preserve even that small amount with continuing value.
