Résumé :

As university libraries, preserving digital objects for future generations is one of our key missions. This paper briefly discusses the essential features required for an ideal digital preservation solution to mitigate the many risks that endanger our digital assets. The LOCKSS open source technology can help libraries build a robust distributed digital preservation network to ensure the very long-term availability of our scientific heritage. Many examples of existing implementations illustrate the wide variety of preservation networks currently based on the LOCKSS software.
