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"

<https://www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/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.
