This is where written policies and reality often diverge. Getting LE

I agree while we might use technology to preserve things, it is only a
tool to help preserve things. It is at best the how, not the which,
what, why, and when.

Dear Colleagues,
Do you manage web-related projects at your institution? Are you interested in
doing so? If you've managed a web project before, you know that the "soft
skills" are actually quite hard. This all-day ASIS&T preconference workshop is

I'd add that not only does it sound like GPO maintained no failover
backup, it sounds, based on Jonathan Lebreton's report, like they
didn't even maintain an offline backup, since they're needing to
regenerate the purl database from raw data, rather than simply restoring
from a backup, which w
My opinion... Of course it's possible to mirror a purl server, although
I can't say how easy it is for that particular software. And yes, this
problem could still occur with a different architecture that
accomplishes the same basic thing, like FDsys.

One of the feature requests we get pretty often with Blacklight is

because it's a performance drag. We have attempted to add it a couple

This is indeed an interesting problem - we are all dependent on a
