14. ETD 2005: Evolution Through Discovery – Sydney Creating New Issues… How will I categorise new forms of information– a blog, a podcast? How will I decide if information is important enough to categorise? How will I catalogue volatile materials or materials whose value is extraordinarily high but only for a very short period? How will I store and manage information? When should it be stored as compound or granular objects? Where will I store information? In an LOR, an LCMS, a library system, a shared open source repository, an EDMS? What do I have in place now?

15. ETD 2005: Evolution Through Discovery – Sydney New Issues Can I access legacy content across internal repositories? How will I make information available for reuse - who can access it? Which version and when? Who helps me decide this? Do I need to consider cross-repository requirements or discovery on a federated basis, and what arrangements are in place for that? How will I ensure the integrity of the information and its use – do I have digital right management tools in place? Can I protect against plagiarism? Is the information being used for its intended purposes? Can I resell it if I own it? How will I ensure preservation of material for current and future audiences?
