Head on over…

…and check out the most excellent article from Eli Edwards on the Internet Archive, soon to appear in Information Technology and Libraries.

A very, very good summary of the issues dealing with the archival of the Internet, as well as some insightful things about the role of libraries/librarians and the public/private dynamic. Great stuff, Eli!
