What does preservation mean in the context of a digital library with holdings counted in millions?
Step-by-step, what does a library need to do to ensure that digital collections will be available ten years from now? 50 years? 100 years?
How does a digital repository assure users and partners that the holdings are secure for the long-term?
What does the community at all levels—students, faculty, librarians, the public at large—need to know about preserving digital information, and what is the best way to instruct them?
