> Educational institutions create and collect large quantities of  
> digital resources,
> and almost all of them exist on the web or are accessible via it.  
> Effective
> management of those resources inevitably involves some element of  
> preservation.
> But knowing what to keep, how to keep it, and how to provide access  
> to it isn't
> straightforward - and it was this that led to JISC commissioning  
> the PoWR
> (Preservation of Web Resources) project earlier this year. PoWR  
> brought together
> two organisations

> *	UKOLN - Expertise in web management and web technology (http://

> *	ULCC's Digital Archives - Expertise in digital preservation and  
> information management (http://dablog.ulcc.ac.uk/ <https:// 
> webmail.jisc.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://

> They tested their views of the issues around web resource  
> preservation through workshops, a project blog (http:// 
> jiscpowr.jiscinvolve.org <https://webmail.jisc.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/ 
> redir.asp?URL=http://jiscpowr.jiscinvolve.org> ) and conference  
> presentations
> (http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/conferences/ipres-2008/  
> <https://webmail.jisc.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http:// 
> www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/conferences/ipres-2008/> ), and  
> brought together the key findings in the PoWR handbook. (http://

> The workshops and the blog attracted interest from web managers,  
> records managers and the digital preservation community. By sharing  
> their differing perspectives, we believe the project outputs are  
> more likely to be comprehensible, relevant and useful to their  
> target audiences.
