#InternetHistory #DigitalPreservation #InternetArchive #GoogleSearch #Google #InternetArchiving: "In a significant step forward for digital preservation, Google Search is now making it easier than ever to access the past. Starting today, users everywhere can view archived versions of webpages directly through Google Search, with a simple link to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

How It Works
To access this new feature, conduct a search on Google as usual. Next to each search result, you’ll find three dots—clicking on these will bring up the “About this Result” panel. Within this panel, select “More About This Page” to reveal a link to the Wayback Machine page for that website.

Through this direct link, you’ll be able to view previous versions of a webpage via the Wayback Machine, offering a snapshot of how it appeared at different points in time."

'Vanishing publications: we hear from the experts working on the preservation of online scholarship'

Today is World Digital Preservation Day and in honour of this important day, I have spoken with a range of experts who are working on the preservation of online scholarly content. Contributions from Alicia Wise of CLOCKSS; Rebekka Kieswetter and Miranda Barnes who work on the Open Book Futures (OBF) project; and James O'Sullivan of the C-21 Editions project. We close with insights on University College Cork (UCC) journals from my library colleague Paul Davidson. Check out the latest blog series on UCC Library's The River-Side Blog:
