Preservation of library materials has been a problem since the establishment of the first library in antiquity. Deterioration and decay are part of the inherent factors affecting all organic materials. In order to preserve the knowledge of past generations for the use of future students and scholars, steps can be taken to slow down these natural processes. Digital libraries have various methods and technologies to preserve and use the book, namely, acquisition, classification, cataloguing, accessioning, etc. These are treated as library technical activities and once the book is processed through library it is then ready for circulation to users. Today, global libraries use network security, policies to ensure the implementation of their security model, in maintaing network security, protection of information loss, alteration, unavailability and the safeguarding of the oganisation's network from internal and external threats.

Preservation how-to for every medium. Cultural heritage professionals—museum curators, museum professionals, archivists, and librarians— use their specialized knowledge to prioritize the needs of their collections. Preservation managers and collections care specialists draw from experts in climate control, fire safety, pest management, and more in assessing a collection and its needs. And all the special materials within the collections have their experts too. This revised second edition contains a wide range of topic-specific expertise that comprises both an enduring text for preservation and collections care students, as well as an essential one-stop reference for cultural heritage professionals—particularly those in small- to medium sized organizations where resources are limited and professional help, is not always accessible.
