  5. Lifecycle Information for E-literature Project phases: • LIFE1 (12 months) • LIFE2 (18 months) LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

  6. LIFE starts to answer the question: • $ • What is the long term costof preserving digital material? LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

  7. Why use lifecycle costing? • Enables evaluation of all the financial commitments for an item in a collection • Important for digital collections, where many costs are largely unknown LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

  8. Aims • Better understanding of the digital lifecycle • Plan and prepare for digital preservation activities • Evaluate and improve efforts • Compare analogue and digital LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

  9. LIFE1 project • Literature Review • Economic Lifecycle Model • Generic Preservation Model • Case Studies • International Conference LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

  17. Questions that arise from Burney • Comparing digital and analogue lifecycles • What is the lifecycle cost to an institution of producing digitised surrogates? • What are the key preservation issues common across digitisation projects of differing scales? LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)

  18. LIFE2 deliverables • Economic Evaluation of LIFE1 • Revision of the LIFE Model • Version 1.1 (October 2007) • Version 2 (Summer 2008) • Updated Preservation Model (Summer 2008) • Final report • End of project conference LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)
