PRESERVATION STRATEGIES AND POLICIES
Introduction
Preservation of data has been one of the major issue in recent time. The preservation
techniques that are used helps in bettering of the entire processing data set and reusing the same
data set for future usage. This set of data can be used as future reference set as well. The main
aspect that must be taken into consideration is that a review of the Personal digital archiving for
journalists: a “private” solution to a public problem that was written by Rachel King in the year
2018. This report is based on the functional process of the preservation strategies that must be
implemented in order to perform the entire section of data management in a better manner. This
section is also related with the functional section of the policies that must be implemented in the
functional process of the data preserving process. Meta data regarding the article will also be
provided. Strategic discussion regarding the analysis of the entire article will be stated in the
report as well. Brief understanding of the article along with the author description will also be
provided in this report.
Preservation Strategies
Usage of different guide books will be helpful in proper understanding of the entire
process of data archiving and imbibing security to the data. Usage of the website
digitalpreservation.gov/personalarchiving will help in better understanding of the security
policies that must be used in the functional process of the data archiving. This website can be
gained access through the platform of the Library of Congress. The data that are present in this
websites helps in better understanding of the process of the archiving process for personal use.
Usage of the terminologies like private and personal the main advantage that is received includes
better allocation of the process and hence the management of the journal will get enhanced in a

manner that will induce the paper to be private and prevent from archiving the data. Journalists
have not been limiting themselves to a sole medium. This ensures the fact that the management
of the project will get functional in a manner that will induce the data that are collected in the
system will procure the usage of the more than one medium. This is one of the main reason that
the archiving process is maintained. Despite presence of more than one medium the main
instance that is taken into consideration incudes the fact that the management of the archiving
process gets affected as there is not enough money provided for performing the archiving
process. Usage of the first sale doctrine is generally used for the processing of the buying of the
copies of the printed newspaper and magazine data. The main concern of this system is to
preserve the data that are present in the functioning of the library preservation process. Despite
the fact that the data that are expressed by the journals and are written by the journals are written
by them the main concern that is present in the system that the owners of the data might be
having a copyright of the entire data set but they do very less in the reservation process. It is seen
that the newspaper agencies have been getting, more serious regard the preservation of the data
that are present in their newspaper itself. This process is conducted with the help of the data base
vendors. This system has been benefitting the functional process and hence the management of
the project gets functional in a better manner. This lack of investing in the preservation of data
marks the point that profit making process has not been very high in the data that are being
printed and this is the main reason that the functional process gets distorted and data storing
process gets affected. Creation of personal preservation process have been one of the most highly
benefitting process that has been increasing the potential value of the posterity. Usage of the
application the main aspect that is present includes the fact that the management of the data that

are stored in the database will be stored in the data base of the digital applications. Usage of the
applications for bettering the data preservation process.
Preservation Policies
The policies that must be included for having a better understanding of the preservation
of the data that are projected in the data set. Policies regarding the processing of the huge amount
of the personal data preservation policies. Usage of the online applications are the major aspect
that is taken into consideration and hence better understanding of the entire system will get better
and hence better processing of the data preservation and archiving can be performed. Copyright
polici9es must be evaluated in order to better the processing of the data management prospect
and hen the journalists who have been preparing the data set must be having access to the data
and must have a proper preservation technique. This will help in preserving the data. This policy
evaluation will affect the ownership of the data. With proper evaluation of the policy stewardship
process can be implemented. This is one of the major aspect that will benefit the functionality of
the process of data preservation. In case of implementation of stewardship the main aspect that
will be taken into consideration includes the fact that the journalists might not be having
ownership of the data but they will be having a higher priority in the case and hence the
management of the entire section will get effected and the journalists will be acting as the
owners.
Preservation technologies
The preservation technologies that must be implemented in order to perform proper
archiving process includes usage of the traditional preservation of the data. This ensures the fact
that the management of the project will get functional and the data preservation will be

PRESERVATION STRATEGIES AND POLICIES
performed as per using the technique of the storing of data in local copies. This process have
been implemented since the early 20th century but the efficiency of the processing will get
functional in a less efficient manner. Implementation of funds for bettering of the reservation
process will include better performing of the preservation process. Usage of the digital data
preservation process has been one of the major process that helps in better preservation of the
data as per the digital platform. This technology has been provided with high intensity in the
functional process. This is one of the main reason that the functional process will get benefitted
as per the usage of database that are present in the digital platform. Usage or the cloud system for
preserving of the data is also performed. This includes the fact that the data that are to be
preserved are preserved and hence preservation can be performed in a better manner. Digital
archives provides high maintenance process and hence the main aspect that is taken into
consideration is that despite requirement of excess funding but a huge amount of data can be
preserved in this process. Using of the contemporary data preservation method will also be
helping the processing of the data that are stored in the database of the system. Usage of the
requisite technology will help the processing of the preservation of data. Usage of the facilitated
library activities will also help in better understanding of the preservation process and hence
better preservation can be made. Publishing of Portico and CLOCKSS has been befitting the
preserving technology and hence better preserving process can be made. Reaching out to the
journalists amid the business commencing process will also provide an upper hand in preserving
the data.
Metadata
This article was written by Rachel King in the year 2018. The main concern of the article
is to encourage the librarians too archive the data that might be collected in the process of data

management system. This article is also concerned with providing strategies regarding the
functional process of data preserving by the journals. This article also states methods regarding
the process by which h journalists can use their own work in future for increasing the efficiency
in their regular functioning process. The data that was gathered includes the functionality of the
traditional method in preserving data. With the help of the usage of the traditional data despite
reduction in the efficiency in the process, preservation of the data will be certain. Data
preservation technologies from then magazine houses and the paper houses are also stated in the
article. Proper subscription of the data management has been one of the main concern of the
article. Terminologies namely digital library, digital preservation. Digital journalism, personal
digital archiving and newspaper publishing has been used. This ensures the fact that the
processing of the entire system has been performing a proper manner and digital technology in
the preserving process has been the main technology that is used in the article and is suggested.
The data that were present in the article was very were referenced and in texted and hence better
implementation of the project will be performed will not have any copyright issue. Due to the
proper in texting and referencing process makes the article highly authenticated. Hence the
usability of the entire system has been very high.
Method of analysis
The method that is used for the processing of the article is secondary data analysis
method. Usage of the qualitative data analysis is performed. The main step that is taken includes
refereeing to the existing literature that is present regarding the preservation of data. After
referring to several data sets and journals that helps in understanding the basic terminologies of
the data preservation process this article was written. The main consideration was the peer
reviewed journal articles and hence better understanding of the process is performed. This

PRESERVATION STRATEGIES AND POLICIES
ensures the fact that the processing the data management gets performed and the data that are
used in the report do not face any copyright issue. Again in case of the entire section the main
aspect that is taken into consideration is that the data are well in texted and hence authentication
of the article is very high.
Agree or disagree
I partially agree with the author in the article, Personal digital archiving for journalists: a
“private” solution to a public problem regarding the author’s point of view. I solemnly believe
that the data preservation is important in order to use the data that are collected once for the
reference of future use. This insists the fat that the efficiency of the functional process will
increase and hence better understanding of the methods of preserving data can be made. The
technologies that are stated in the article for preserving of data has been really beneficial in the
functional process of the regular day to day tasks of the journalists. This has been providing
better understanding of the preserving techniques. The main scope where I differ with the author
is that at times not preserving the data is also beneficial. It is not only because of funding issue
that preservation of data is not performed. Data breaching is also one of the major aspect that
leads to prevent the data [reserving process. Hence a boundary must be created in between the
data that must be preserved and the data that must not be preserved.
Conclusion
From the above discussion it can be stated that the functional process of the preservation
of data is very important in regular management of the data processing. This is one of the major
aspect that is taken into consideration for betterment of the data referencing process. The main
aspect that is taken into consideration includes the fact that the commencing of the data archiving

PRESERVATION STRATEGIES AND POLICIES
has been performed in a better manner. This article is mainly concerned with the process of data
management and proper description of the technique that must be used in the processing of the
preserving of data. This is one of the major reason that the data acquisition process can be
developed in a manner that will help the journalists to get a reference set in increasing the
efficiency of their regular day to day functioning process.
