- Developing Collections of Web-Published Materials Hsieh, Inga K. Murray, Kathleen R. Hartman, Cathy Nelson Preservation Needs Assessment Electronic Libraries Library Services Librarians Library Materials Users (Information) Information Needs Evaluation Web Sites Intellectual Property Copyrights Printed Materials Archives Metadata Academic Libraries Higher Education Librarians and archivists face challenges when adapting traditional collection development practices to meet the unique characteristics of Web-published materials. Likewise, preservation activities for Web-published materials must be undertaken at the outset of collection development lest they be lost forever. Standards and best practices for Web-collection development are still emerging, and librarians are struggling with the often daunting financial, staffing, and infrastructure challenges posed by collecting and preserving these materials. The results of a needs assessment with librarians, information providers, and academic researchers informed the identification of key collection development activities for Web-published materials. This research was conducted as part of the Web-at-Risk project, a collaborative effort of the California Digital Library, the University of North Texas, and New York University. (Contains 2 tables and 32 notes.)
