Dear Sarah,
Will the summit also touch upon preservation of new journals for small publishers? I am thinking particularly of institutions that are establishing new in-house (possibly open access) publications.
We are beginning to offer support for Faculty that wish to go down the self-publishing route, and have already established a few titles, e.g. feminists@law <http://journals.kent.ac.uk/index.php/feministsatlaw/index>, Contention <http://contentionjournal.org/> and Splinter <http://www.scribd.com/doc/146555390/Splinter-1>
We are looking at services like ISSN and DOI registration, and would be interested in best practise for ensuring preservation of content going forwards.
Best wishes,
Jason

Subject: [lis-e-resources] e-journals 'summit' and webinar London 30th October, registration now open
'Preservation, Trust and Continuing Access for e-Journals'
Registration has now opened for the Digital Preservation Coalition's (DPC) e-Journals 'summit' and webinar Preservation, Trust and Continuing Access for E-Journals in London on Wednesday 30th October.
Perhaps the most advanced part of the digital preservation community, the e-journal community has growing experience in fixing technical challenges and is supported by a well-developed - if complicated and at times dysfunctional - value chain that connects authors, publishers, sellers, purchasers and consumers. A range of service providers and tools secure this supply chain with a blend of services that offer (or purport to offer) digital preservation, and continuity of access. This is because libraries were historically a mix of 'access libraries' and 'holding libraries': but now hardly any library that provides e-connections for their clientele also holds the equivalent e-collection. They either entrust that stewardship to others or engage collaboratively to do so between with partners.
This half day seminar will introduce and examine latest developments in the preservation of e-journal content, and explore the extent to which the e-Journal community has genuinely solved the 'trust question' for digital preservation services. This topic of e-Journals should, therefore, be of interest anyone considering the viability and requirements of third party services in digital preservation.
The DPC has recently completed the latest in its Technology Watch Report series, 'Preservation, Trust and Continuing Access for e-Journals' written by Neil Beagrie. This report explores these issues and makes a series of specific recommendations for libraries, publishers, archivists and service providers active in this space. The report is now available as a preview to DPC members and will be launched at the seminar.
Parts of this event will also be available as a webinar for members who are not able to attend in person. In person or online, places are limited and we recommend early registration.
