CONSERVAZIONE
DI DOCUMENTI ELETTRONICI

a cura di Antonella De Robbio*

Questa pagina raccoglie risorse miste su Conservazione e Archiviazione di documenti elettronici: records, files, periodici elettronici, multimedia ... Si tratta di una miscellanea eterogenea di informazioni selezionate da siti specializzati sull'argomento, che conservavo nel mio bookmark di lavoro. Il presente strumento è rivolto a bibliotecari ed a quanti si occupano di gestione e conservazione di materiale su supporto digitale.
La metarisorsa non ha pretese di essere esaustiva, ma solo offrire una panoramica generale a quanti si accingono ad affrontare questo argomento di grande attualità, ma purtroppo ancora poco esplorato da parte degli addetti ai lavori.
Sono linkati siti di interesse generale, linee guida, raccomandazioni, riviste e newsletters specializzate, reports, atti di workshop, qualche bibliografia ed alcune informazioni su norme e formati.
