Digital preservation raises challenges of an on a very basic level diverse nature which are added to the issues of preserving traditional format materials. Since the advances in technology quicker than any time in history, the limitation in usage and transferring of digital materials into new formats is one of the challenges of digital preservation. Digital content can also present challenges to preservation because of its complex and dynamic nature. Digital preservation facilitates the global accessibility of any form of documents.
Librarians have traditionally safeguarded library assets for numerous hundreds of years with little change in their part. As of late, innovative advancements have profoundly affected library assets and tested librarian’s parts in preserving computerized materials.

Dependency of Machine: In order to access the all digital materials require specific hardware and software.
Fragility of the media: The digital materials are stored on is inherently unstable and without suitable storage conditions and management can deteriorate very quickly even though it may not appear to be damaged externally.
However, while the media on which the data are put away could possibly fizzle, what is sure is that innovation will change quickly so that regardless of the fact that the media is held in immaculate condition, it might in any case not be conceivable to get to the data it contains. Regardless of how excellent the consideration of the media is, it will not evacuate the prerequisite to manage changes in innovation, however mindful consideration ought to make it simpler to oversee innovation changes.
Shorter life span of digital media: The ease with which changes can be made and the need to make some changes in order to manage the material means that there are challenges associated with ensuring the continued integrity, authenticity, and history of digital
1.1 Describe Systems and Procedures for Storing and Retrieving Information Collect documents to be filed, sort in to alphabetical, numerical or chronological order, find the relevant file and place the document inside after it’s divider, and return the file to its original place. Confidential files should be kept in a lockable cabinet and old documents should be shredded after the length of time outlined by the organisation. Electronic filing is similar but on the computer. It is important to name files so that they are easily recognisable by everyone who may need to access it. If the information is confidential it should be encrypted with a password to prevent unauthorised access.
Print media, however, are fundamentally restricted by their physical nature. Enter the Internet, arguably modern society’s greatest technological advancement, with its ability to digitally recontextualize the written word. Again, forever changing the nature of communication. This paper will focus on the web’s functional, social, and cultural remediation of print media. It can be argued that the Internet is a modernized version of the printing press.
The objective of the digitization procedure for estate files is to ensure compliance with the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA), the Bankruptcy and Insolvency

In the year of 2013, the magnetic hard drive media was primarily hard disks, which are used widely for storing the data from computer to it as well as the audio and video files signals. In the field of the computing, they shows as the
Virtual and digital technologies are rampant in American culture and thoroughly utilized in entertainment mediums like television, movies, magazines, and video games. Our capitalist economy creates a fertile environment for these mediums to prosper by feeding off the public's hunger for entertainment. Because these industries are in such high demand and accrue billion dollar revenues, new technologies are often conceived in and funded by these trades: "For, in essence, all socially relevant new image media, from classical antiquity to the revolution of digital images, have advanced to serve the interests of maintaining power and control or maximizing profits" (Grau 339). That being the case, new technologies "hardly ever…advanced solely for artistic purposes" (Grau 339). Because "power" and "profits" are the central means of motivation in our culture; art, in the classical sense, is often an afterthought. In an age where entertainment and art intertwine, however, distinctions between the two based upon their creation are impossible. With advances in technology and, in turn, art, our ideas and traditions of comparison should also develop to justly analyze new media: "Although art history and the history of the media have always stood in an interdependent relationship and art has commented on, taken up, or even promoted each new media development, the view of art history as media history…is still underdeveloped" (Grau 4). In order to embrace virtual art as a valid outlet of artistic expression, its relationship to media and unique position in the history of art must first be acknowledged.
In the world of preservation and library science the common focus is on preserving content, ensuring its longevity, findability, and a stable consistent metadata and technology solution, However we live in an age where everyone is a publisher of some form, and more consistently the content they produce will be in a digital rather than analogue form. Within that content there will always be varying amounts of metadata, some will be populated with an immense detail and granularity, some content will have been created with no human intervention to add additional information to it. In fact much of the digital material produced will have been done so by people who have no concept of metadata, and no inclination to know about it or time to use it. The question raised by Smiths statement highlights many of the issues around data preservation and digital content, with metadata only being a part of those issues, but integral to the ongoing management of the massive influx of digital content being produced.
The technological aspect of digital art often leads to questioning of whether or not it can be considered art. Digital art has been accepted and embraced by the commercial and entertainment industries for many years, but is finding it much harder to become part of the fine arts community. Digital art has many hurdles to overcome before it will be fully accepted by the mainstream tradit...
The purpose of this research assignment is to put forward a convincing argument in how digital technology in the last four years have completely revolutionised the whole film industry. This thesis will attempt to focus on the main disciplines of film making and the impact that technology has had on each area. Firstly, this article will look at recent changes in the pre-production area of film making followed by what new equipment and storage facilities are being used during film production. Next is arguable the biggest transformation in the film industry as a result of technology, namely the post production stage. New methods of film distribution are explored followed by the negative impact that technology has had on the film industry with the main focus being on the illegal distribution of copyrighted film footage. New ways in post-theatre film distribution is also explored and the impact that continual break-through technologies are having on the education and training of professionals working within the film industry. Finally an examination of the impact of computer generated graphics on the film industry is concluded by a brief discussion on what the future may hold for the film industry.
...big amount of collection. This is important in order to avoid any destruction or deterioration in the early stage of audiovisual archives. Every storage room must be equipped with suitable equipment, appropriate storage container and provide security enforcement to all repository storage.
Computer software and files are no different from artistic products, as their creation also involves a great deal of thought and effort. The laws of copyright cover software. As it takes a great deal of money, skill, time and effort to produce and maintain application software, copyright also protects the large monetary investment made by the software company. The main problems found with software items are the ease of copying and difficulty of detecting breaches of copyright.
Copyright was designed for three basic reasons that are to reward creators for his or her original works; to encourage availableness of the works to the general public; and to facilitate access and use of copyrighted works by the public in bound circumstances. The three technological advances, particularly the networking, digitalized information and worldwide web has modified the economics of information benefits down. Digitalization of information has modified the economics of replica, networking has modified the economics of distribution and therefore the worldwide web modified the economics of publication. While copyright provides terribly clear rights to copyright owners, it conjointly sometimes provides restricted exceptions to people who may would like to use the proprietary work for legitimate functions that don't harm the rights holders’ legitimate commercial interests. Copyright legislation regularly permits restricted copying by libraries and archives. Library privileges granted under copyright law allow copying of any item within the permanent assortment for the needs of preservation or replacement, given that prescribed conditions are complied with. Copying is merely permissible wherever it's not moderately practicable to buy a duplicate of the item. Materials should be for reference use solely, and materials on temporary loan don't seem to be eligible. Therefore, the standing of digital material that's subscribed to is however remotely access isn't clear. Additionally, this exception applies solely to literary, musical and dramatic works, not creative works. Nor will it apply to sound recordings or films, materials that usually form necessary components of library collections, notably massive research libraries like national libraries. In the beginning, copyright law only applied to books, but this soon extended to derivative works and other translations. But today, copyright
That’s important to preserve the digital information because to ensure that information still reliable and authentic for the future. This is because the information in archive has enduring value and act as evidence for some events. However, it’s not easy to preserve digital information because they need specialist to manage it and will face several problems.
