Lessons Learned – Ideas Emerged Focused collection development plans help overcome organizational inertia by providing paths forward. Curators want to collect at both the document level and the Website level. Discovering and acquiring collections of Web published materials is not yet supported by vendors at the level they support acquisition of print or e-journals. Smaller government agencies and smaller publishing houses are generally unable to assume stewardship for the materials they publish.

Lessons Learned – Ideas Emerged …more There is a need for internal collaborations within large institutions. Proactive collaborations across organizations are important: – Among state/federal agencies and university libraries – Among large institutions for cross-repository information discovery Need for policies that address take-down requests – from content owners or from individuals. Must clarify issues related to “official-ness” and “authenticity” of materials we capture. California Digital Library University of North Texas New York University
