22/10/2005 First workshop on eprints in Library and Information Science -- Geneva, 22 October, ) PRESERVATION POLICY: Establish a definitive preservation policy: PDF and HTML are recommended but still E-LIS has a lot of documents in other formats. So we have to decide if the files PPT, WORD, etc... will be accepted or not anymore. There many of them. Depends on the decision, the variety of types of documents has to be changed for the list of types accepted in the preservation policy.
