Online Survey On Blog Preservation

There are still 2 days left to participate in an online survey from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science.

Entitled Blogger Perceptions on Digital Preservation, it seeks to gather bloggers' opinions about what, if anything, should be preserved in the blogosphere. Preliminary survey results will be presented later this year at a digital libraries conference.

"The purpose of this research is to survey bloggers’ own perceptions on digital preservation. It is hoped that the results of this study will inform development of recommendations for impacting stewardship of weblogs at the level of creation, and the development of strategies for capturing the content of blogs for perpetuity".
