- Critical Technological and Architectural Choices for Access and Preservation in a Digital Library Environment. Solbakk, Svein Arne Access to Information Archives Electronic Libraries Foreign Countries Library Collection Development Library Collections Library Facilities Library Services Library Technical Processes National Libraries Preservation This paper describes some basic architectural choices for the access to and preservation of digital objects at the National Library of Norway. A digital repository is a core element for the handling of both access to and preservation of the digital objects. Strategies for giving access to the complete holdings include the use of a powerful search engine and the OAI protocol to harvest metadata from conventional catalog systems to make textual or structured indexes. The following basic objectives for developing a digital library at the National Library are outlined: to offer powerful digital library services adapted to user expectations and needs; to handle access to and preservation of large amounts of digital data with a variety of properties; to collaborate with other institutions on user services as well as the handling of access to and preservation of digital objects; and to let other service providers make value added services which include resources from the digital collections at the library.
