Taking the Long View: International Perspectives on E-Journal Archiving

John McIntyre Conference Centre

An international conference organised as part of the Jisc-supported Keepers Extra project, 'Taking the Long View' brings together international archiving agencies, representatives of national libraries from around the world, and research libraries and consortia to describe their initiative's recent activities and share views on what actions are needed - by themselves and by other stakeholders - that can assist with collaborative activity and result in improved services in the near and long term.
The importance of assuring continuing access to e-journal content has long been recognised. Yet analysis undertaken as part of the Keepers Registry has shown that over 80% of continuing resources assigned an ISSN have yet to be archived. The need for 'conscious coordination' of activity is clear (Lavoie and Malpas, 2015). It is imperative that we now take the long view and consider if and how we can work together to address the challenge of stewarding the digital scholarly record.
Marking the 40th anniversary of the ISSN International Centre and the 20th anniversary of EDINA, this event presents a networking and briefing opportunity in which participants can learn about a wide range of international activities, experiences and perspectives on the archiving and preservation of serial content, and exchange knowledge, share ideas and discuss opportunities for potential collaborative activity that results in increased security of long-term stewardship.
