摘要：The problem with digital preservation is often reducedto its technical aspects: we seek solutions to storage andbitstream preservation, format migration or buildingemulation environments. In turn, organizational aspectsof preservation are often dealt with almost as anafterthought (see Kenney and McGovern, 2003). However,for digital preservation to be sustainable, technicalsolutions have to be embedded in an organizationalframework complementing and supporting thetechnological side. Linked closely with the notion of“institutional readiness”, the organizational dimension ofdigital preservation comprises “the policies, procedures,practices, people” to support digital preservation (CornellUniversity Library and ICPSR, n.d.). These were the topicsaddressed in the session “Beyond bits and bytes: theorganizational dimension of digital preservation” at theIASSIST 2013 conference in Cologne, on which this issueof the IASSIST Quarterly is based.
