Helen -----Original Message----- From: Helen Hockx [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 08 March 2007 17:10 To: [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask] Subject: JISC briefing paper on Archiving and Preservation of E-journals Dear All, A JISC briefing paper on Archiving and Preservation of E-journals has become available. The briefing paper explains the main issues related to the preservation responsibility of e-journals and the differences between Perpetual access, archiving and long-term preservation. It also looks at the role of legal deposit and institutional and open access repositories. The briefing paper in addition examines a number of currently available e-journal archiving options, including LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico and PubMed Central. Parallel to the briefing paper, JISC recently commissioned a piece of consultancy to review and analyse the CLIR e-journal Archiving Survey (published in September 2006) so that we fully understand the findings of the survey and its impact for the UK education sector. The objectives of this work are as follows: - Reviews and analyses the CLIR survey - Relates these findings to the needs of the UK education sector - Pays particular attention to NESLI2 and the JISC/CURL LOCKSS Pilot programme - Includes a set of high-level principles for e-journal archiving services designed to assist in assessing third party services - Includes a set of high-level principles for a national approach to e-journal archiving - Revisits the recommendations of the 2003 JISC e-Journal Archiving consultancy reports and relates these to the current e-journals archiving landscape. The full report is available from JISC website: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_preservation/ejournalarc hiving. Please also note that the high-level principles mentioned above will be presented as a discussion paper and discussed at an e-Journal Archiving and Preservation workshop on 27 March 2007, jointly organised by JISC, the British Library and the Digital Preservation Coalition. These principles are attached for your reference. If you haven't registered for the workshop, please go to http://www.dpconline.org/graphics/events/0703ejournalwkshop.html. The registration deadline is 15th March.
