Digital & Preservation Resources Centers
http://www.oclc.org/digitalpreservation/about/centers/
"The Digital & Preservation Resources Centers digitize newspapers, books, manuscripts, photographic formats and more and provide high quality preservation microfilming and storage. The Centers enrich your digital collections by adding metadata and full-text search capabilities so collections are fully retrievable, not just identifiable. Centers provide a menu of services so you can select the appropriate type and level of service for each specific project. Services range from basic reformatting to metadata creation, text conversion and mark-up and delivery of web-ready packages of digital collections."

 

Digital Archive
http://www.oclc.org/digitalpreservation/about/archive/
"The Digital Archive offers a safe, reliable, standards-based, long-term solution for the life cycle management of digital collections. A format protection service ensures continued access to collections as technology evolves. You can work with the OCLC Digital & Preservation Resources Centers to prepare your content for digital storage or use OCLC tools to create metadata within your current workflow."

Digital & Preservation Co-op
http://www.oclc.org/digitalpreservation/about/co-op/
"OCLC is expanding on its history of providing collaborative services to libraries by establishing the OCLC Digital & Preservation Co-op. Co-op participants will work together to develop educational resources on standards and best practices for digitization and preservation and to provide access to a growing body of networked digital collections worldwide. It provides a clearinghouse for information on grant and other funding resources and on digitization collaborative projects. Co-op participants come together to share knowledge and to increase the value of digital collections by combining them with other collections. The Co-op provides the latest in best practices, standards and technology white papers to help you learn more about digitization and preservation trends.

RLG: Set of Resources and Tools found at http://www.rlg.org/preserv/RLGtools.html

Digital Preservation Needs and Requirements in RLG Member Institutions, Research Libraries Group, December 1998.
http://www.rlg.org/preserv/digpres.html/

Report prepared by Margaret Hedstrom and Sheon Montgomery. This is a report of a survey of 54 RLG member institutions to assess where guidance, education and training, storage, and digital preservation services are required, in order to develop the kind of training, mechanisms for resource sharing, and services that meet members' needs. The report is a good overview of the current practices and needs in institutions that maintain materials that are "born digital" or converted to digtal formats from analog sources.
