Though the authors draw upon PLNs (Private LOCKSS Networks) in their featured examples, the chapter may be applied more broadly to many distributed digital preservation initiatives. As such, it will be of great use to librarians, curators, and archivists, as well as administrators, who are seeking to ready their collections for preservation.en-USIn CopyrightDigital preservationLibrary materials -- Conservation and restorationBook chapter
