Digital preservation at TIB

Producers and users of scientific materials place high demands on the information they use in terms of integrity, authenticity, consistency and citation. The TIB has assumed responsibility for the long-term preservation and availability of the digital materials it collects and documents, as well as their interpretability for use by different target groups. To this end, it has created the necessary infrastructure and guarantees the permanent provision of both material and human resources.

Detailed information on digital long-term preservation at the TIB can be found in the TIB Preservation Policy and on our wiki page (only in German).
