New Special Issue of NISO's Information Standards Quarterly Now Available; Theme is Digital Preservation
We usually limit our posts about new issues of publications to those where most if not all of the content is available online and for free. However, we're going to make an exception this time because it's a special issue of Information Standards Quarterly (ISQ) that focuses on digital preservation, a topic we know many of you are interested in. ISQ is published by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO).
This Guest Content Editor for the Digital Preservation issue was Priscilla Caplan, Assistant Director for Digital Library Services, Florida Center for Library Automation.
Finally, three pieces from this issue ARE available online and at no charge. They are linked below.
