Is there a guide somewhere on how to properly upload a music album to the Internet Archive? I've read about the basic stuff but I'd like to also add more stuff besides the music and cover: a scan of the booklet/back/spine as well as stuff like CUE/TOC files. Basically everything that's needed to preserve it entirely.

"Scientists breathe new life into climate website after shutdown under Trump."
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/30/climate-gov-website-trump
"Earlier this summer, access to climate.gov…was thwarted by the Trump administration, and its production team was fired in the process… Now, a team of climate communication experts – including many members of the former climate.gov team – is working to resurrect its content into a new organization with an expanded mission. Their effort’s new website, climate.us, would not only offer public-facing interpretations of climate science, but could also begin to directly offer climate-related services, such as assisting local governments with mapping increased flooding risk due to climate change."

"Why are data nerds racing to save US government statistics?"
https://archive.is/7gF5f
"After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. Their goal is to make sure they are available in the future, believing that democracy suffers when policymakers don’t have reliable data and that national statistics should be above partisan politics."

Kudos to the #Connecticut legislature for passing a new law on digital books and following the 2020 model legislation from #LibraryFutures.( @libraryfutures).
https://www.libraryfutures.net/post/connecticut-ebook-bill
"After the governor signs, #publishers will no longer be able to
* Prohibit #libraries from #lending #ebooks on their own terms,, including via interlibrary loan (#ILL)
* Restrict #license terms or checkout limits during the term of a license without offering agreements on “commercially reasonable terms” that align with the library mission
* Limit when libraries can buy an ebook license or how many licenses they can buy
* Prohibit libraries from making #preservation #copies
* Require libraries to violate patron confidentiality."
