In Requiem for a Nun<\/a>, William Faulkner famously said, “The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.” With the advent of new processes, the past can survive and be retrieved in new ways and forms. The new skills needed to preserve digital information are the same ones that librarians have always employed to serve users: selection, acquisition, and local knowledge.<\/p>\n

The print issue of NetConnect is bundled with the April 15th issue of Library Journal, or you can read the articles online.<\/p>\n

Jessamyn West of librarian.net says in Saving Digital History <\/a>that librarians and archivists should preserve digital information, starting with weblogs. Tom Hyry advocates using extensible processing in Reassessing Backlogs<\/a> to make archives more accessible to users. And newly appointed Digital Library Federation executive director Peter Brantley covers the potential of the rapidly evolving world of print on demand in a Paperback in 4 Minutes<\/a>. Melissa Rethlefsen describes the new breed of search engines in Product Pipeline<\/a>, including those that incorporate social search. Gail Golderman and Bruce Connolly compare databases’ pay-per-view in Pay by the Slice<\/a>, and Library Web Chic Karen Coombs argues that librarians should embrace a balancing act in the debate between Privacy vs Personalization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jessamyn and Peter join me in a far-ranging conversation about some of the access challenges involved for readers and librarians in the world of online books, including common APIs for online books and how to broaden availability for all users.<\/p>\n
