Abstract
Digital curation involves maintaining, preserving and adding value to digital research data throughout
its life cycle. It emphasizes on long term preservation and persistent access. Care should be taken
for data security, integrity and fair use. Digital data degrades more quickly than paper documents.
As such, curation is not a one-time preservation process but a perpetual one. The paper discusses the
role of library professionals and the challenges they are to confront in digital data preservation
process.
