ReviewsHighly recommended for those who want an extremely accessible introduction to managing and preserving digital materials and would serve as a great reference to the topic., This book is a great introduction to the various models of electronic preservation for all information managers....The management of electronic records is described in a well-reasoned fashion, current methods are illustrated, and ways to update the described practices are included. Reasons for accepting and rejecting electronic information in archives, the handling of that information in various ways, and the techniques of decision making are clearly explained. Each chapter is very well documented with bibliographic notes. Essential reading for all archivists, records managers, and librarians faced with the ever-changing world of electronic information management., Trenchant and succint....This book is one of the most comprehensive to date.... Any archivist confronted with the electronic dilemma might find this a useful guide....A unique and varied perspective....Dow also gives a terse and penetrating analysis....A treasure trove of pertinent information....I highly recommend this book. It addresses most of the current literature in a systematic manner without overburdening the reader with technical jargon, and it serves the important task of discussing the essentials that archivists need to know and where to find them. This is what a good reference book does and this work performs that objective., I found the tone of this book refreshing -- it was informal and sometimes even colloquial . . . Likewise, Dow not only deals with the book's subjects with candor, she is also candid with the reader about what her book is -- and is not., I found the tone of this book refreshing--it was informal and sometimes even colloquial . . .
