Digital resources The Library has digitized Blues music tapes, and a large investment in networked learning material, for which it accepts responsibility. The digital resource preservation solution has to work for large and small academic institutions, and for commercially available datasets. The University needs well understood and robust procedures for digital resource preservation,and funding to enable digital preservation. Intellectual property rights guidelines, best digital storage format guidelines, and collection management guidelines, need to be established for digital resources. A survey needs to be made of all digital resources stored in the University, and the University needs to be made aware of the need for digital resource preservation.
Policy There is a report underway on the creation and use of digital resources.

ULCC may become a service provider. Goals Store and provide access to the electronic documents produced by the institution, and the electronic documents purchased by the institution, particularly e-journals. Solve the policy and technical issues which are related to the federal nature of the institution.
