- Abstract
- Although librarians recognize the Internet as a resource for knowledge and information, they have yet to make a formal effort to collect and preserve the Web sites found there. Addresses the need to set up a cyberarchive and some of the issues involved. With Web sites appearing and disappearing constantly from the Internet, there is an immediate need to recognize that they are precious part of cultural and intellectual history and to preserve them for future study. Issues discussed include: Web site authorship vs. Web space ownership; physical media used to hold Web sites (hard drive, mainframe, CD-ROMs); collection development; acquiring Web sites; and adding Web sites to a collection
