**Apologies for cross posting**
Dear Colleagues,
EDINA, in collaboration with Jisc, would like to invite you to join us for a briefing and discussion of the SafeNet project. The half-day event will be held on 14th October from 10:15-13:30 at Brettenham House in London. Lunch will be provided.
The Jisc SafeNet project aims to improve assured continuity of access for UK higher education institutions to the electronic journal articles for which they have paid. The two-year project runs until July 2016 after which Jisc and EDINA plan to launch
a national service based on the project outputs. To learn more about the project and its goals, please visit
http://safenet.blogs.edina.ac.uk<http://safenet.blogs.edina.ac.uk/>.
There are two key components to SafeNet: an entitlement registry based on actionable data that acts as an authority during post-cancellation access requests, and UK based infrastructure for storing local copies of journals to provide long-term resilience. The
project is developing this infrastructure to host a UK collection of archived journals and clarify continuing access rights through an entitlement registry of subscription histories. The project focus is to simplify the route to a working copy when there
is no active subscription or when access from the publisher ceases.
This briefing event is open to all interested members of the HE library community and will provide an overview of the project as well as progress to date. Discussion will focus on the entitlement registry component to assist the project team in understanding
the challenges related to gathering entitlement data. We would like to discuss how a registry of entitlement could help in your routine workflows (e.g. cancellation exercises, annual reviews etc.), what data you currently have and how the project team can
produce a user friendly service that benefits the community as a whole.
If you are interested and able to attend this event please book your place using the Eventbrite link below by the 7th of October:
If you have any queries please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Best wishes,
Robbie.
