Kicsit megkésve továbbítok egy EPIC hírlevelet,
de a tartalma a digitális megőrzésről talán még
most is érdekes lehet.

Legal deposit extension - Bill passes Second Reading in the
Lords 12 September 2003
Posted by Press and Public Relations
The Legal Deposit Libraries Bill - to extend legal deposit to
non-print materials - today passed it s Second Reading in the
House of Lords. The Bill, introduced by the Liberal Democrat
peer Lord Tope , was discussed for over an hour with all eight
speakers in favour of the Bill. Discussion ranged from the
importance of legal deposit in building the national published
archive and how best to balance archival and publishing interests
through to the costs of processing and preserving material
(see Hansard for details).
The Bill will now proceed to Committee Stage and Third Reading
before it can receive Royal Assent.
Background to the Legal Deposit Libraries Bill:
The Bill proposes to extend legal deposit legislation
(see the British Library's press release and general
information on legal deposit) to include non-print
publications, such as CD-ROMs and online resources
- enabling the six legal deposit libraries to ensure
that these items are collected and preserved for the
national archive. Last year in the UK alone more than
60,000 non-print items were published - a figure that
is set to increase by a factor of four or five by 2005.
Non-commercial publications, including websites, add
enormously to this number.
The Legal Deposit Libraries Bill was championed in the
Commons by Chris Mole, the Labour MP for Ipswich. The Bill
successfully passed its Report Stage and Third Reading in
the House of Commons on 4 July (see Hansard for details of
the debate) and its First Reading in the Lords on 7 July 2003.

dear all
the following may be of interest to the lists.
The edition of the BBCs World Service program Global Business on digital
archiving by Nick Higham will be broadcast this coming week world-wide; the
program will be broadcast in the UK this Sunday at 03:30, 08:30, 14:30 and
23:30.
It is also available on the web and can be listened to/downloaded at any time
from http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/global_business.shtml
The interview is interesting in focusing on business perspectives on digital
archiving.
It includes interviews with the BBC staff ( film and sound archives), Glaxo
Smith Kline (pharmaceut
icals), Standard Life (insurance), NM Rothschild (Banking), and the Digital
Archiving Consultancy.
The broadcast lasts for
approx 25 minutes and covers both drivers for and impediments to digital
archiving in industry.
The DPC helped advise on possible interviewees for the programme.

3. World Summit on the Information Society: PrepCom3

Dear Colleagues
Kay and I attended the last three days of WSIS PrepCom3 and
would like to pass on some observations
.
First of all, we must express our deepest gratitude for the incredible
commitment of our Swiss coll
eagues, led by Danielle Mincio and Daisy McAdam, to ensuring the effective
representation of IFLA a
nd the concerns of the global library community in Geneva before, during and
after each of the mee
tings and to the planning for our own Preconference, "Libraries @ the Heart of
the Information Soci
ety". Without their extraordinary efforts, our concerns could not possibly
have been as well recog
nised in the draft Declaration of Principles and draft Plan of Action as they
have been.
The latest versions of those documents, which can be found at
http://www.itu.int/wsis , include a number of direct references to
libraries, archives and information services but also many mentions of
our professional concerns including unrestricted access to information,
freedom of expression, preservation and the need to strengthen and
exploit the existing worldwide network of libraries. Those references
are well embedded in the documents and have received considerable
support from government delegates as well as our colleagues in the civil
society sector.
Unfortunately, however, PrepCom3 was adjourned without finalising the
draft documents. Many issues were agreed, or substantially agreed, but
major points of division emerged. It did not prove possible for the
various committees to discuss a significant number of issues raised by
government delegations nor many of the substantial matters of concern to
civil society.
One of the major areas of division is in regard to the ownership and
governance of the Internet. Some major governments and significant
regional groups have made conflicting proposals for inclusion in the
Declaration of Principles. Their concerns hinge about the openness or
otherwise of the Internet and its status as either a private sector,
market oriented communications network or a shared resource which will
be governed in the interests of all nations and peoples. At this point,
it appears unlikely that this fundamental difference can be resolved.
The deliberations finally reached an impasse on Friday night. Under the
guidance of the President, M Adama Samassékou, the Bureau proposed that
the drafts be adopted as the bases for future negotiations and that the
PrepCom3 should resume 10-14 November and 7-9 December. After
considerable discussion, we understand that it was agreed to resume
10-14 November subject to funding being found for the meeting. Further
extension to 7-9 December has not been confirmed at this time.
We are writing to the principal actors to indicate IFLA's support
for their attempts to bring the PrepCom process to a satisfactory
conclusion.
Our Preconference has now assumed greater strategic significance because
it will occur just before the November resumption of PrepCom3. It has
the potential to provide an informal arena in which some solutions to
the impasse might be explored. The participation of M Samassekou
underlines this opportunity. Consequently, we call upon all national
library associations and national libraries to do all in their power to
encourage their governments to be represented at the Preconference and
to ensure that their associations and/or libraries must be represented
as well. This will be a key opportunity for us to influence the agenda
of governments in the lead up to the Geneva phase of the Summit.
Regards
Kay Raseroka
