National Significance Add LOCKSS contribution, Public Telev. contribution, and reference Cruse and Sandor article

• Add concept that NDIIPP provided funds at crucial times in development of two major digital preservation tools - LOCKSS and the American Archive (for public television)
• Aside from the involved websites and Wikipedia article on LOCKSS, the other reference is a future gold-mine if the sub-parts of the full-length issue can be found (I only cite the summary)
• That reference is Cruse adn Sandore summarizing Library Trends V 52 Issue 3, Winter 2009, which dedicated multiple articles to various NDIIPP assisted projects

National Significance Add Personal digital archiving

• Add concept that NDIIPP kickstarted still existing LOC advise to individuals on personal digital archiving, including an e-book and web-site

National Significance Add Study and Tense

• Reference study International Study on the Impact of Copyright Law on Digital Preservation (http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/documents/digital_preservation_final_report2008.pdf)
• Adjust paragraphs to past tense

change to past tense and other

Student editor, will be editing the page National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program here. Intended plan is to: Edit initial section and a couple of additional sessions to reflect that the NDIIPP is in the past (last tweet was 2017, LOC page indicates program ended in 2016) and describe its "fingerprint"/legacy. Flesh out a couple of examples of NDIIPP inspired projects that continue on today that aren't already mentioned. Fix or recommend elimination of dead ECHO link. Attempt to fix Link issue with Cite # 6 (three different places reference the "mission" statement of LOC, but 2 don't appear to really want to do that, and the mission cite itself seems to have an issue).

Bias:

The main problem I see is that it reads like an official description, hence, there are no sources and it contains things like "is a valueable public service". 68.39.174.238 22:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I've removed this "peacock" sentence, which is outstanding:

"The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program is a public service project of major importance to the nation as well as the world."

Otherwise the article is fairly neutral, (if a little pompous). So I've also removed the neutrality tag.

Cut and paste

The first edit copied and pasted, verbatim, a writeup about the NDIIPP from www.digitalpreservation.gov. The writeup is no longer hosted on that site, but it explains some of the non-neutral language of the current article - much of which has not changed from the initial edit. Since this was text taken from a US government website, I do not think it is a copyright violation, but the provenance of the text should be noted. Chubbles (talk) 04:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
