Digital Curation Bibliography: Preservation and Stewardship of Scholarly Works
Preface
|
The "digital curation" and "digital stewardship" concepts are still evolving. In "Digital Curation and Trusted Repositories: Steps toward Success," Christopher A. Lee and Helen R. Tibbo define digital curation as follows:
Some scholars distinguish between "digital curation" and "digital stewardship":
Digital preservation is typically regarded as a key subset of either digital curation or digital stewardship. Here's a definition:
The Digital Curation Bibliography: Preservation and Stewardship of Scholarly Works covers selected published articles, books, and technical reports. All included works are in English. The bibliography does not cover conference papers, digital media works (such as MP3 files), editorials, e-mail messages, letters to the editor, presentation slides or transcripts, unpublished e-prints, or weblog postings. Most sources have been published from 2000 through 2011; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 2000 are also included. The bibliography includes links to many freely available versions of included works. Such links, even to publisher versions and versions in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories, are subject to change. URLs may alter without warning (and often without automatic forwarding) or they may disappear altogether. Inclusion of links to works on authors' personal websites is highly selective. Note that e-prints and published articles may not be identical. Digital curation and digital stewardship intersect with a variety of broader topics, such as copyright, digital repositories, digitization, digital libraries, and metadata. See the author's other bibliographies listed in Appendix A. for more general coverage of these topics. For the reader who is unfamiliar with digital curation and digital stewardship, the following works are recommended: The following organizations' websites are good starting points for exploring digital curation and digital stewardship topics: 1.
