ISBD International Standard Bibliographic Description : 2021 Update to the 2011 Consolidated Edition
No full textA ISBD (International Standard Bibliographic Description, descrição bibliográfica padrão internacional) da IFLA é o padrão que especifica os requisitos para a descrição e identificação de recursos publicados e não publicados que provavelmente aparecerão em coleções de bibliotecas. A ISBD determina os elementos de dados a serem registrados ou transcritos em uma sequência específica como base da descrição do recurso que está sendo catalogado, e emprega a pontuação prescrita como um meio de reconhecer e exibir os elementos de dados e torná-los compreensíveis independentemente do idioma da descrição. A atualização de 2021 da edição consolidada de 2011 da ISBD leva em conta as solicitações dos usuários e suas necessidades de catalogação desde a publicação da edição de 2011. Ela amplia a cobertura da ISBD para uma gama maior de recursos, otimiza sua capacidade de descrição granular, esclarece e desenvolve alguns dos elementos e traz mais organização e refinamentos para a descrição de alguns tipos de recursos.

Active and Retroactive Digital Newspaper Preservation
No full textThe University of Kentucky Libraries’ (UKL) long-running efforts to document and provide access to the state’s history via newspaper preservation have necessarily evolved over the last 80 years. As news formats and preservation technologies have changed, particularly in relation to born-digital media, the libraries’ efforts have had to keep pace. The race to preserve these materials before they disappear or are locked away on media inaccessible to modern computers is not always chronologically linear, though. Digital archivists and librarians must sometimes straddle multiple generations of technology to successfully migrate, capture, and otherwise preserve digital publications, and there is no single guidebook to navigate the many ways to do so. This paper will explore ongoing efforts to preserve born-digital additions to the UKL’s Kentucky Digital Newspaper Program collection, including a discontinued bilingual newspaper that arrived in our collection as a box of 326 discs in varying states of decomposition, as well as web archiving for actively published newspapers that are entirely and exclusively online publications
