You know, it’s been a terribly long time since I’ve posted my “links” up here. I apologize, but plead Holidays!<\/b>. Now that we’re back in Glasgow, and our noses back at the grindstone, here’re all of my links for the past 6 or 7 weeks. There’s quite a lot in here, and I hate to point one thing out as a “must read,” but if you read nothing else, you should take a look at The Battle to Preserve an Old Accelerator’s Data<\/a>. It’s important for a number of reasons, not least of which is that it points up some of the central issues in digital preservation. Of interest to me, though, is that the information gathered during the course of the accelerator’s use has been preserved … but that the scientists’ “private” data was destroyed, resulting in an inability to duplicate the actual research<\/i> which took place. Give it a read and you’ll see why I’m interested in this field, perhaps. That article works hand-in-hand with an article from EFF: Putting the “Public” In Publicly-Funded Research<\/a>. And, I could go on and on about all the rest of the links, here, but I hope you take the time to settle in for some good reading, in the true spirit of an old-style, links-driven blog.<\/p>\n
