An issue was raised about digital library programs and the relationship of archives and libraries. One of the problems in building these digital libraries is dealing with the very large amounts of data. They consider Web pages as publications. Some universities are no longer publishing on paper because they are now publishing on the Internet instead. An issue which must be addressed is how to archive this information.
Preservation demands migration to new software and hardware environments in the future.
Not only data, but also the functionality of multimedia documents must be retained. Art libraries are collecting exhibitions. Accessing information was also mentioned as an issue. There are large amount of data on the Net already. How do you keep track of information that is fluid, that is constantly changing.
