5LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)
Lifecycle Information for E-literature
Project phases:
► LIFE1 (12 months)
► LIFE2 (18 months)
6LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)
$LIFE starts to answer the question:
What is the long term costof preserving digital material?
7LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)
Why use lifecycle costing?
►Enables evaluation of all the financial commitments for an item in a collection
►Important for digital collections, where many costs are largely unknown
8LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)
Aims
► Better understanding of the digital lifecycle
► Plan and prepare for digital preservation activities
► Evaluate and improve efforts
► Compare analogue and digital

Questions that arise from Burney
► Comparing digital and analogue lifecycles
► What is the lifecycle cost to an institution of producing digitised surrogates?
► What are the key preservation issues common across digitisation projects of differing scales?
18LIFE Project (27 Nov 2007)
LIFE2 deliverables
