  • Access to library collections through electronic means is now a standard and an increasingly important benchmark in evaluating library collections. In this paper I will discuss briefly the current environment relating to issues of access to and preservation of electronic resources and will follow that with examples of standards under development, examples of some developing and existing preservation models, and examples of recent institutional archiving projects. Through these examples I hope to provide you with a glimpse of the challenging complexities of preserving electronic resources and to underscore that there are no simple and straightforward approaches. Rather we must take advantage of a complex set of circumstances, a wide-variety of partners, and a rapidly growing body of technological advances and new models.
