Yeah, their automated spider is not close to perfect, and I don't expect it to be at the budget they have. <BR/><BR/>What I meant to be suggesting is that, for already existing historical content that you want to make sure stays available when it's _current_ host goes down -- You could upload that content to the IA manually, and I believe the IA would be happy to host it. <BR/><BR/>--Jonathan Rochkind (when I use the OpenID thing to authenticate to my wordpress account, it doesn't include my name, sorry and annoying!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303975371294158246.post-4409104102134122672009-03-31T23:26:00.000+01:002009-03-31T23:26:00.000+01:00@bibwild, I don't think "IA isn't interested" is q...@bibwild, I don't think "IA isn't interested" is quite correct. The IA is a low cost, reasonable effort operation, and cannot afford otherwise, with the whole web to gather. I was a bit surprised the success rate is so low, but not completely; you will often find similar patterns if you investigate sites you know, with top level pages reasonably well gathered, and lower level pages not so well handled. It's just possible that visits stimulated by the situation will have stimulated further gathers; certainly that was the message I got from some un-gathered pages I attempted to visit!<BR/><BR/>I haven't heard yet from more focused web archiving efforts like UKWAC, but it may have been out of scope for them, too.<BR/><BR/>You scepticism on open access to the BL digital services is quite understandable, but this does appear to be "planned" (with a few cautious ifs and maybes).Chris Rusbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426316331703324594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303975371294158246.post-30270604238962592262009-03-31T23:09:00.000+01:002009-03-31T23:09:00.000+01:00Based on other BL digital services, I'd be surpris...Based on other BL digital services, I'd be surprised if the BL digital library were available available open access on the web, although it may be free to UK educational institutions if they are funded for that. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious why the IA isn't interested, anyone know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
