Electronic hosting reliance, Duke Libraries’ Snapshot cont’d
STAKE holders • “The need for faculty input into the preservation of digital resources is even more pressing; though the bulk of the work of preserving digital texts will fall to the library, we all have a share in it, and we all must be aware of the issues.” • – Kathleen Fitzpatrick • Planned Obsolescence: publishing, technology, and the future of the academy (2011), page 127.
Researchers as stakeholders • “…what happens when the company who controls the database [where] the ebook originates goes bankrupt or changes hands? That information will no longer be accessible, whereas a hard copy will be on the shelves as long as human ingenuity can preserve it. We are not beholden to any outside commercial entity for hard-copy titles we have already acquired, but e-books make us servants to the e-masters of those books.” • - Duke University professor of Classical StudiesSource: http://blogs.library.duke.edu/blog/2011/10/19/tell-us-what-you-think-about-e-books/
