Library of Congress Releases 2017-2018 Recommended Formats Statement

The Library of Congress has announced the release of the 2017-2018 Recommended Formats Statement.

The goal of the Recommended Formats has always been to provide useful information furthering the shared goal of ensuring the preservation of and long-term access to creative works. By providing up-to-date information about the file types, physical and technical characteristics and associated metadata which support these goals, the Statement hopes to provide the building blocks upon which libraries can build their collections, now and for the future.
