>Planets (Preservation and Long-term Access through Distributed 
>Networks) has issued a survey to each of 96 National Libraries and 
>Archives in Europe plus intermediary institutions in EC member 
>countries. The survey is open to any institution with an interest in 
>retaining and accessing digital content.
>
>Individuals or institutions who wish to take part can find out more 
>and complete the survey at: 
><http://www.planets-project.eu/market-survey>http://www.planets-project.eu/market-survey. 
>Results are collated automatically when the form is submitted. You 
>cannot save an electronic copy but can print the completed form off 
>for your records. The survey will be open until 23:59 on 16 March 2009.
>
>The results will be published in the summer of 2009. They will 
>inform the packaging and delivery of Planets tools and services to 
>meet demand. They will also be used to help shape the framework that 
>will ensure Planets outputs continue to provide benefits to their 
>users after the project ends in May 2010.

>Planets is a four-year project co-funded by the European Commission 
>and 16 National Libraries, Archives, research and technology 
>institutions in Europe. The project will establish a suite of tools 
>and services to support and substantially automate the preservation 
>process. The project's outputs will be vital to ensuring 
>institutions in Europe can preserve their digital information and 
>access it in the long-term.
