The second RLG-OCLC report intended to advance long-term retention of
digital research materials is now available for review and comment. You can
find "Attributes of a Trusted Digital Repository: Meeting the Needs of
Research Resources" at http://www.rlg.org/longterm/attributes01.pdf. It
is, or will be very shortly, linked to from
http://www.oclc.org/digitalpreservation and http://www.oclc.org/presres.
On the morning of August 31, both organizations will be announcing the
report in news releases at our web sites.
This 52-page PDF document is intended to prompt consideration and
discussion worldwide. To help achieve an international consensus and shape
next steps, we need dialog on the standards, criteria, and mechanisms for
certifying digital information repositories. We encourage your input --
please comment to robin.dale@notes.rlg.org by October 12, 2001.
While intended primarily for research institutions and specifically for
libraries and archives, this report contains guidance and recommendations
applicable to any organization interested in long-term maintenance of and
continuing access to digital materials. It highlights some key strategic
issues as it focuses on practical assistance to administrators and
implementers of digital archiving services.

NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT News on Networking Cultural Heritage Resources from across the Community August 31, 2001
"FIRST SALE" REPORT PUBLISHED BY COPYRIGHT OFFICE http://www.loc.gov/copyright/reports/studies/dmca/dmca_study.html
The Copyright Office has just released its report on "the impact of the DMCA and Electronic Commerce & Associated technologies on Sections 109 and 117 of the Copyright Act."
Look for commentaries from many sources over the next week or two, but the upshot is that the Register of Copyrights recommends no change in the law, especially with respect to extending the first sale doctrine into the digital age.
Interestingly, the Register does assert at the opening of the Executive Summary that "The enactment of the DMCA was only the beginning of an ongoing evaluation by Congress on the relationship between technological change and U.S. copyright law." So we know there's a long road ahead of us.
