description ABSTRACT Digital preservation has been gaining its significance mostly because of the exponential growth of digital resources, which should be understood in the framework of the information technology and society development. As a consequence, many of national and international policy and strategy initiatives which foster the development of preservation of digital heritage are taking rise. An overview of digital preservation in Slovenia from the library science perspective is presented, and the comparison with archival approach is discussed. According to the Slovenian Deposit Law, the National and University Library (NUK) is the only library responsible for digital preservation of electronic publications. Due to the lack of staff and financial resources NUK has started with this practice some years later than other developed libraries all over the world. In the SWOT analysis some advantages and opportunities are described. It was concluded that optimal results can only be achieved by cooperation of relevant institutions.
