Underutilized Technologies: There is an enormous amount of hardware technologies and software development environments that go begging for tangible applications. The rapid progress in hardware and software technologies (literally week by week) are outpacing the user community's ability to effectively assimilate these new developments into the work regime. With the broad adaptation of the rudimentary tools of computer processing (word processors, spreadsheets, database managers) in recent years, the preservation community on the whole has gained a modicum of computer skills. Yet, widespread recognition of opportunities to use the computer to develop a new preservation information management paradigm is still lacking. There is no effective, concerted effort by the preservation community to actively identify opportunities to adapt emerging computer tools to facilitate access to the broad knowledge base that will best serve preservation needs. As the evaluation of information integration and management alternatives proceeded through the course of this research, an additional objective began to take shape in the context of contemporary, commercially available technologies and tools. This objective involved the description of an information management system that would utilize inexpensive "off the shelf" hardware and software. This objective focuses on the integration of proven, cost effective technologies to assemble electronic information management tools that can serve the tasks of the preservation process.
