Preservation in action: reprints of previously out-of-print books

BackinPrint.com is preservation in action!

Here's an excellent example of how technology can be used in preservation to improve access of preserved materials. This company worked with writers to establish not only an archive of preserved written works, but also to create a solution that allows these works to be accessed in their original formats - the printed word in book form.

By using on demand printing technology coupled with copyright grants from the originators of information, this organization has applied technology to great effect. By allowing consumers of information to purchase books that are preserved in electronic form, and then delivering that information in its original format, they have moved preservation of information to a new level.
