Dear Sir,
The Library of Congress of the United States sends its greetings. We are the world’s archive whose mission is to make available and preserve knowledge and information through out the world in various media and format. The Library remains neutral on the content of information. We desire to support Indonesia’s entrance into the digital world. We initiated our Digital Initiatives in various ways, one of them is web harvesting various web-sites accessible in the internet to preserve the sites of information for archival, historical and scholarly purposes only.

During this upcoming 2009 Election, selective websites that provide significant content and carries the information on the election will be a resource for future generations that will be forgotten and lost, if not well archived and preserved.

It is important that your website/blog is included in this web-archiving project. It may add substantial content to the collection and archive. If you agree to participate, we will start to begin harvesting automatically upon your approval. We are also collecting election posters, handouts and other materials. We are not aware that any action and or changes are required on your part.

If you have any additional questions, comments and or recommendations, I welcome them.

Sincerely Yours,

William P. Tuchrello

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Web Capture Permissions Plan
Collection Name: Indonesia General Elections 2009
Sponsoring Division/Custodial: OvOps, Jakarta Office

The Library of Congress has overseas offices in six countries that collect from different regions from which traditional acquisitions are considered difficult. The Jakarta Overseas Operations Office has developed this Web Archive about the Indonesia General Elections of 2009. The collection substantially concentrates on the ongoing process of Parliamentary election, the Legislative election, and the Presidential election in Indonesia. The general (legislative) election is on April 9, 2009. The first round of Presidential Election is in July 2009, and second/final round is September 2009 (Presidential Election dates TBD). Sites will include campaign and party websites, and sites with information about bio-marine environment issues, an important campaign issue in 2009. Sites in this archive will be primarily Indonesian. Email notices will be sent in English but may also be translated into Indonesian if the project team decides that would improve chances for response.

As a part of any Web Capture project, permissions and notices must be considered prior to the start of the capture process. The OSI Web Capture team, using information provided by Library Services regarding types of sites to be included in the Indonesia General Elections 2009 collection, has developed this Web Capture Permissions Plan.

Collecting web-based material is an important mission of the Library and will be an on-going activity. As in previous collections, we would like to request blanket permission from Web site owners. A positive response to our blanket permission request would allow us to continue to collect the site until otherwise notified. If we do not receive a positive response, we would continue to notify Web site owners in future collections. The notification email will state that we are collecting for Indonesia General Elections Archive and will identify that the site may be collected as part of future Web archive projects.

2.A.3. Permission/Permission Notice Text

To Whom It May Concern:


The United States Library of Congress has selected your Web site for inclusion in its historic collections of Internet materials related to the Indonesia General Elections of 2009. The Library's traditional functions, acquiring, cataloging, preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to the Congress and to the American people to foster education and scholarship, extend to digital materials, including Web sites. We request your permission to collect your web site and add it to the Library's research collections. We also ask that we be allowed to display the archived version(s) of your web site.


The following URLs have been selected:

With your permission, the Library of Congress or its agent will engage in the collection of content from your Web site at regular intervals over time. The Library will make this collection available to researchers’ onsite at Library facilities. The Library also wishes to make the collection available to offsite researchers by hosting the collection on the Library's public access Web site. The Library hopes that you share its vision of preserving Internet materials and permitting researchers from across the world to access them. If you agree to permit the Library to collect your Web site, please click the following link to signify your consent. This link also includes a separate consent for permitting the Library to provide offsite access to your materials through the Library's Web site.

For several years, the Library of Congress has collected Web sites within certain themes or topics for which we were required to seek permission for each new collection developed by the Library, even if permission had been granted in the past. As our collections have grown, we have had to contact some Web site producers repeatedly. To reduce this duplication and to save site owners from having to respond to multiple requests for information, we are now requesting permissions for the Library to collect, over time and in varying frequency, sites of research interest. Your site has been identified as a Web site of interest related to the Indonesia General Elections 2009. If you grant this permission, we will capture your site for inclusion in the Indonesia General Elections 2009 Web Archive and may include it in future collections. If you grant this permission, and in the future you no longer, wish to be included in the Library's Web archives, please contact us and we will cease collection of your URL.

Our Web Archives are important because they contribute to the historical record, capturing information that could otherwise be lost. With the growing role of the Web as an influential medium, records of historic events could be considered incomplete without materials that were "born digital" and never printed on paper. The Library has developed previous Web Archives, some of which are available through the Library's Web site (http://www.loc.gov/webcapture/). For more information about these Web Archive collections, please visit our Web site.

If you have questions, comments or recommendations concerning the Indonesia General Elections 2009 project or future projects, please e-mail the Library's Web Capture team at webcapture@loc.gov at your earliest convenience, or contact the Jakarta Office staff at jakarta@loc.gov.


Thank You,

3. Robots.txt

While lawyers and courts like using robots.txt as a proxy for copyright permissions that is not the way web managers use it. Many sites include robots.txt instructions for non-copyright reasons (e.g., reducing server loads from the crawl). Second, many sites apply the restrictions only to parts of the site, not to the whole site; further confusing matters (although one could deem that a full-site restriction is more likely copyright-based.) Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this is not something that can be assessed at the selection staff level, which makes the decisions regarding the level of permission that is required but lacks the tech expertise to assess the robots.txt exclusion.

Therefore, the following plan has been established:

1) Sites will be crawled in accordance with this permissions plan.

2) Robots.txt instructions will be captured (but not respected) during the crawl

3) OSI will document robots.txt throughout the process, including monitoring any correlation between the robots.txt and permissions received or denied.
