Abstract:
Digital information is increasing at tremendous rate and the libraries shall develop new strategies to effectively archive electronic materials. This paper emphasizes the practice of Digital Rights Management â€“ DRM and Digital Asset Management â€“ DAM. There is also a proliferation of â€œborn-digitalâ€ materials that have never existed in print form but still must be effectively managed to ensure their preservation. These born-digital materials are of particular concern to librarians involved in managing digital information because of their recent abundance.
