35% have plans to establish one» Long-term preservation is
‘very important’ for 75% and‘important’ for 35%

Tentative Conclusions
• Libraries and consortia have different views on the rôle of libraries in long-term preservation;
• Consortia recognise the importance of the issues; on the other hand, their actions appear rather inconsistent;
• Consortia (like most libraries and users) are mainly oriented towards online access to current digital content;
• The consortia (and most libraries) have no clear strategies about the future of digital preservation.
