Preserving Government Information: Past, Present, and Future

Preserving Government Information. Past, Present, and Future by James A. Jacobs and James R. Jacobs. The book examines how preservation practices of the past affect the preservation of digitally published government information today, analyzes publishing and preservation data to characterize the current gaps in preservation, and looks to the future by charting a path to a distributed Digital Preservation Infrastructure for government information. The book addresses technical issues without unnecessarily technical jargon. It is designed to be used by LIS students, front-line librarians and archivists, managers of libraries and archives, government workers who publish and preserve government information, and policy makers who design laws and regulations that affect the production, dissemination and preservation of government information.
