[78-L] LC Preservation Plan

[Kristjan Saag]

After a quick look: this seems to beawell thought, well written report 
with lots of good ideas as how to stimulate collaboration between 
interested parties: scholars, local libraries, national 
institutions,private collectors, music corporations, practising 
musicians, broadcastnetworks...
Here's a quoteabout the need to create a national directory of collections:

"Many interests will be served by a publicly accessible web-based
directory. In addition to aiding scholarly research, it will help producers
locate collections with rare or unique materials (e.g., ethnic
recordings originally issued in limited runs). Private collectors and
stakeholders can identify institutions to serve as potential partners
for preservation projects or as permanent repositories for their 
collections.
Additionally, institutions with similar collecting interests will
be able to find potential partners for collaborations in the areas of
preservation and collection development. The directory can be created
under the aegis of ARSC, which has prior experience with similar
endeavors, but does not currently maintain a registry of collections."

And what's more: the number of pages in the documnet happens to be - 78.
