Through a contract with Digital Bedrock, the Library of Congress recently completed a project to analyze the technical characteristics of a substantial set of eBook and eJournal files in the Library’s permanent collection and available for onsite access in Stacks, the Library’s access system for rights restricted content, that will inform current action plans for access and preservation.

The project was started last June with an analysis of 150,000 files made up of formats such as EPUB, PDF, HTML, and XML. Digital Bedrock’s Linda Tadic and Henry Rosen shared the results from their research and analysis at a recent summit hosted by the Library. Read more about the summit and their findings here:
