Archivierung von WWW-Dokumenten: (Fwd) Re: Archiving document

["Heinrich C. Kuhn" <hck _at__ ipp-garching.mpg.de>]

Liebe Inetbiblerinnen und Inetbibler,

   vielleicht kommt ja aus Ihrem Kreis noch eine
neunte oder gar zehnte [:-)] Antwort auf Frau
Woodwards Fragen zur Archivierung von WWW-Dokumenten?
Bitte schicken Sie entsprechende Antworten an
Frau Woodward (WOODWARD _at__ fogelson.csf.edu) und *nicht*
an mich. Da ich vermute, dass die Zusammenfassung
der Antworten durch Frau Woodward nicht nur rund
100 Leser von Web4Lib, sondern auch die eine oder
den anderen aus unserem Kreis interessiert, werde
ich betreffende Zusammenfassung wenn Sie vorliegt
gerne hier "crossposten".

   Mit freundlichen Gruessen aus dem verregneten 
Muenchen

Heinrich C. Kuhn

Subject:       Re: Archiving documents

Hi Netters,

Sorry to pester you again but last week I posted a message about 
needing information regarding local policies for archiving Internet 
documents.  Well, I received about a hundred requests for summaries 
of the information I find but only about 8 actual replies to the 
questionnaire.  It sounds as if many of you think this is an 
important issue but don't consider yourself to be the right person to 
answer the questions.  If this is the case, could you forward my 
questions to the appropriate contact at your site? I'll summarize 
for the list since it seems to be of general interest. 

Thanks very much
***************************************

If you have some responsibility for a site, would you mind 
answering these questions?  Don't feel obligated to answer them all 
and please add any additional information that you think 
would be useful. 

How are decisions made concerning what is loaded and maintained at 
your site?

Who decides when to remove a document?

Why are documents removed?

Is there any provision made for keeping archival copies of documents 
that have been removed?

If you are a university site, what is the role of faculty in deciding 
what stays or goes? 

What is the role of your administration in deciding what stays or 
goes?

If anyone at your site produces a regular publication like an 
electronic journal,  would it be treated differently? How?

Does your library have any specific role in archiving Internet 
documents?

Do you have any formal system for dealing with drafts and final 
versions of documents? 

This may be covered in the questions above but if, let's say, 
Einstein posted his theory of relativity at your site and only at 
your site,  and he's an unknown assistant professor,  would that 
document be around five years from now in some form?  Might it have 
disappeared into the ether? Would any steps have been taken to 
protect it? 


What steps do you think Internet sites should be taking to insure the 
permanence of important documents? 

Thanks so very much for your help.  Please send your responses 
directly to me and if you like, I can send you a summary of the 
responses.
