Issues of digital preservation have caught attention of the Digital Libraries community in recent years, not in the least because of the work of the Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information.[2] However, concerns in the archives and records management communities about electronic record have been quite different from those expressed by the library and preservation communities. This divergence reflects a fundamental difference between the way the two communities think about records and deserves serious efforts by both to understand each others' the underlying paradigm. Collaboration between these communities is essential if we are going to design systems that ensure the long-term preservation of electronic records.
