Abstract

This paper examines the role of Big Data in enhancing digital preservation strategies for libraries. It explores how libraries can leverage Big Data technologies to ensure the long-term accessibility and usability of digital collections. The study aims to explore the role of Big Data in mitigating preservation challenges, examine its potential benefits, and identify best practices and frameworks for its implementation. The primary objective of this study is to explore how Big Data technologies can be effectively integrated into digital preservation strategies to enhance the accessibility, scalability, and longevity of digital resources in libraries. The study's respondents are drawn from three primary professional groups, librarians, IT professionals, and archivists, all of whom are engaged in digital preservation initiatives across public, academic, and special libraries. The study reveals that while libraries face significant challenges in adopting Big Data technologies for digital preservation, the potential benefits of these technologies in improving efficiency, scalability, and proactive risk management are undeniable. The findings of this study highlight several promising avenues for further research on the adoption and impact of Big Data technologies in libraries.
