1.The LIFE Project (Life Cycle Information for e-Literature) is a collaboration between the British Library and UCL (University College London), supported by LIBER (the Association of European Research Libraries), which is developing tools and techniques to enable long-term planning for digital preservation by researchers, librarians, data managers and other information specialists.
这个名为电子文献生命周期信息的项目是大英图书馆和伦敦大学学院共同合作实施的，由欧洲研究图书馆协会提供资助，项目团队包括了众多研究人员、图书馆员、数据管理员和其他信息专业人士，旨在开发工具和技术，以确保数字保存的长远规划。

2.Sayeed Choudhury, Associate Dean for Library Digital Programs and Hodson Director of the Digital Research and Curation Center at the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University, referenced his current work with an NLG project “Digital Archiving of Astronomical Data to Support Publication and Long-term Preservation,” and how it influences work soon to be funded by the NSF Datanet program.
美国约翰霍普金斯大学Sheridan图书馆数字化研究和保护中心主任兼图书馆数字化项目副院长Sayeed Choudhury报告了他目前的工作，NLG资助项目之一，“天文数据的数字化存档对出版和长期保存的支持”，及其将对美国国家科学基金会Datanet项目工作所产生的影响。

3.In addition, the webcast will showcase comments from two reactors to the report: James Neal, Vice President for Information Services and University Librarian, Columbia University Libraries, will offer his perspectives on community level preservation challenges; and Deborah Jakubs, Rita DiGiallonardo Holloway University Librarian and Vice Provost for Library Affairs, Duke University Libraries, will discuss aligning preservation activities with institutional and inter-institutional concerns. Participants will have the opportunity to ask the panelists questions at the end of the session.
此外，这次会议还将展示不同立场对该报告的意见：信息服务副主席兼哥伦比亚大学图书馆大学图书馆员的James Neal将从社会层面保存的挑战来阐述其观点；来自杜克大学图书馆的Deborah Jakubs则将对机构内及机构间的保存活动调整进行探讨。与会人员将有机会向会议小组成员提问。

4.The recent Victorian bushfires and Queensland/New South Wales floods have brought home to library managers the fragility of our situation. In just a few hours, nature can wreak havoc with the communities we serve, the buildings we inhabit and the collections we strive to protect.
最近发生的维多利亚州森林火灾和昆士兰-新南威尔士州水灾给图书馆带来了极大的损失，让图书馆管理人员认识到我们处境的脆弱性。在短短几个小时内，自然就可以毁掉我们服务的社区，我们的住所，以及我们努力保存的馆藏。

5.The building will house low use material including patent specifications, books, serials and newspapers in temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions that meet international standards for archival preservation. In addition, the storage void where the material is kept will be a low oxygen environment to reduce any fire risk to the collection.
这座大楼将用于存放利用率较低的资料文献，如专利说明书、图书、期刊和报纸，其恒温恒湿的环境已达到了档案保存的国际标准。另外，这个存储空间还会保持为低氧环境，以降低可能为馆藏带来损毁的火灾风险。
