	National Digital Forum: National Library of New Zealand
		If the Bill is enacted, the National Library will still be required to be mindful of copyright considerations in its dealings with works in which copyright exists.
		The Forum was convened as the result of continuing discussions between the National Library and other heritage organisations interested in the opportunities presented by digitisation.

	JEP: Ensuring Long-Term Access
		National libraries are testing two different approaches to the collection of online publications: The Royal Library, Sweden (National Library of Sweden), through its Kulturarw3 Heritage Project, and the University of Helsinki (National Library of Finland) are taking regular snapshots of their nations' entire domain, while others -- like us -- are being selective.
		At the National Library we are aware of the need for preservation activity and have framed our archiving work and our technical specifications for an archive-management system to accommodate the requirements of preservation.
		National and other deposit libraries have a particularly unenviable task in preserving national heritage in published formats, because it is their business to ensure the survival of as many online publications as possible.

	IMLS: Publications & Resources: Publications
		Two of the most widely reviewed preservation metadata element sets are the National Library of Australia's Preservation Metadata for Digital Collections ( http://www.nla.gov.au/preserve/pmeta.html) and the RLG PRESERV element set ( http://www.rlg.org/preserv/presmeta.html).
		Where application of national and international standards is beyond an institution's technical capabilities (as it is likely to be at most smaller and even medium-sized institutions), a more local approach may be considered.
		The importance of verifying the authenticity of an information object is well described in The Evidence in Hand: Report of the Task Force on the Artifact in Library Collections (2001) http://www.clir.org/activities/details/artifact-docs.html

	Guide to Historical Research at the National Agricultural Library: The General Collection
		With over two million volumes dating from the fifteenth century to the present, the National Agricultural Library is a rich resource for material on all aspects of the history of agriculture in the broadest sense.
		This publication is designed as an entree to historical research at the National Agricultural Library, not as a comprehensive bibliography.
		Because cataloging practices have varied over the years and the word "history" is not always found in the subject heading for a historical book, it is advisable to search using keywords as well as Library of Congress subject headings.
