2. PRESERVATION, BY DEFINITION, IS:
 "activities associated with maintaining library and
archival materials for use either in their original
physical form or in some other usable way."

3. A SHIFT, WHICH HAS TAKEN FROM THREE
PERSPECTIVES
1. Preservation of Intellectual Content
 Reformatting

4. REFORMATTING HAS FOLLOWING
ADVANTAGES:
 It ensure longer life of the contents, knowledge/
information;
 Allows free access to the users without damaging
original document;
 Saves physical space of the library
 resource sharing becomes easier

5. 2. PRESERVATION AND ACCESS
 The Transformation of Preservation AND
Access
 Preservation OR Access
 Preservation AND Access
 Preservation IS Access
 Preservation OF Access

6. 3. PRESERVATION RESPONSIBILITY
 In the world of paper, the preservation has been the
clear responsibility of library
 A library that provides network access to digital
resources it neither owns nor controls, no longer
has any need to concern itself about the storage
and care of the medium in which the information is
stored.
 Yet, no real answer at all
