Rights and Responsibilities
Do you require a higher degree of preservation commitment or
access to this resource than offered elsewhere?
|
If preservation responsibility has been accepted elsewhere,
decisions on whether you might also wish to take on preservation
responsibility will include consideration of the following:
- Has preservation responsibility been undertaken only for
the short-term?
- Does the infrastructure of the organisation
elsewhere pose any doubts as to the ability to guarantee
long-term access
to the resource?
- Are there any access conditions imposed
which your organisation would consider unacceptable?
- Has
responsibility elsewhere been taken only to mirror the
resource, i.e. to provide access but not necessarily
to guarantee
long-term preservation?
- What are the preservation approaches (capture, storage, etc) used?
