3 Mission Strategy Build and preserve dis8nc8ve collec8ons to support research and learning, and represent a record of thought in the social sciences Develop our digital library so that we are able to acquire, preserve and provide access to digital collecbons which match the strength of our print collecbons informabon repository services to support new forms of scholarly communica8on and enable the School to manage, disseminate and preserve these intellectual assets LSE Library Vision and Strategy

4 Risk model (DRAMBORA) Inadequate staff skills Media degradation or obsolescence Loss of essential characteristics Insufficient backups Infrastructure cannot support requirements Activity overlooked or under resourced Failure of authenticity, integrity, provenance Loss of trust or reputation Cannot implement preservation plans

5 Digital collec8ons There are known knowns; there are [digital collecbons] we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say there are [digital collecbons] that, we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns there are [digital collecbons] we do not know we don't know. United States Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld 12 February 2002
