Northwestern University Libraries and the University of California San Diego Library are investigating the integration of local digital repository services with distributed preservation networks, such as The Digital Preservation Network (DPN), Chronopolis, and the Academic Preservation Trust (APTrust). This research is being funded through the IMLS planning grant, “Beyond the Repository: Integrating Local Preservation Systems with National Distribution Services” LG-72-16-0135-16. We invite you to take the survey, which should only take about 15 minutes of your time. Please respond to the survey by May 1. If you feel others in your organization are better suited to answering these questions, please forward it to them.
