Shelf-preservation in a coded climate
Article Abstract:
Digital documents pose a number of challenges for research libraries, not only because complex equipment is need to read them, but because they are stored in different formats on a variety of media. Furthermore digital documents, unlike their written counterparts, can be altered without leaving any trace. Scholars discussing a digital document do not necessarily know whether they are using the same version. Nevertheless digital libraries offer great benefits to scholarship, not least because digitisation enables old and rare original manuscripts such as carbonised papyri to be preserved.
