Blogs

Scope and content:

This series consists of blogs that were created by the Health Sciences Library. The files in this series were downloaded from the Internet by Library staff. Content in the blogs that are accessed through a link outside of the blog's parent directory (e.g. external YouTube videos, external web pages) are not downloaded and archived in this series.

Language:
English
Arrangement:

Blogs are arranged into files alphabetically by title.

Accruals:

Copies of each existing blog are captured every year and added to the collection.

Physical / technical requirements:

When the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library captures a copy of a blog, the Library preserves all of the its original files (e.g. jpeg files, html files) as well as an aggregated web archive file (warc). Both a directory containing the original files and the warc file are bundled together into a single digital object.

Patrons may contact Historical Collections staff at the Library to request copies of blog files. The files may be sent to the patron for remote viewing or they may be viewed in the Historical Collections reading room. The Library will provide patrons in the reading room with software to view the files. Patrons who request to view the files remotely are responsible for obtaining their own copies of the hardware and software required to render the files.
