How does the emergence of new types of digital publications affect libraries’ collecting practices? As technology evolves, libraries must respond to the changing ways in which publishers create and make available their works. The British Library Emerging Formats Project looks at innovative forms of storytelling, the challenges they present to long-term preservation, and the significant risk of loss they face.

Giulia Carla is the Curator for Digital Publications at the British Library. With a background in eBook production and digital publishing, her current work focuses on emerging media in the UK and how new forms of storytelling are challenging existing practices in collecting institutions.
