The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is pleased to announce that its new Beginners Guide to Computational Access is now publicly available.
The beginner's guide aims to define and de-mystify key terms around computational access, it describes the main approaches that are used within the community and gives some examples, it discusses the pros and cons of using these access techniques and describes some practical steps that individuals and organizations can take to get started. Finally, the guide contains some helpful signposts to further resources and case studies that can be explored to find out more. Ultimately, the guide aims to give digital preservation practitioners a basic level of knowledge on the topic and the confidence to take initial steps to move forward.
