From an ARL Newsletter:

ARL has released a report that provides a current picture of preservation activities in ARL member libraries and makes recommendations about how libraries should characterize and measure those activities. The report was prepared by ARL Visiting Program Officer Lars Meyer (Emory). “Safeguarding Collections at the Dawn of the 21st Century: Describing Roles & Measuring Contemporary Preservation Activities in ARL Libraries” considers activities traditionally captured by ARL’s Preservation Statistics, as well as a host of emerging activities largely, but not exclusively, centered on developing digital collections and involving collaborative efforts.
