Muddiest Point

I could use some clarification in regards to the design report accompanying our final projects. I am not sure what information to include in some of the categories, particularly user requirements, conceptual design, data collections, and sample information access scenarios. I have a general idea of what these might mean, but examples would be very helpful. Is there a finished report we could look at?

Muddiest Point: Digital Preservation

There has been a lot of talk about what would happen to a library's licensed digital resources if the vendor went under -- since nothing is physically on the shelves, access to all those materials could be lost as though it never was. But I have heard that some vendors offer guaranteed continued access through third-party permanent repositories, and that some institutions are partnering with each other to build and maintain the same. Can you point to any examples of these types of ventures?
