Permanent Archiving of Electronic Publications : Research & Practice
Steenbakkers, Johan F.
(Date Created: 2003)
(Netherlands)
- This paper discusses strategies implemented by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB, national library of the Netherlands) to permanently archive scientific digital research material. In order to enable long-term preservation of electronic publications in general KB has developed an electronic deposit, ‘e-Depot’, and in order to be able to legally access and copy scientific material the Library has signed archiving agreements with major science publishers. Although the e-Depot had addressed the preservation concerns, permanent access to the stored information has remained an issue and is currently being addressed by ’Permanent Access Toolbox for the digital Cultural Heritage’ (PATCH) initiative, comprising of various depository and archiving institutions, as well as companies interested in cooperative approach.

- Survey Research Results : Long-term Preservation : Results From a Survey Investigating Preservation Strategies Amongst ALPSP Publisher Members
Durrant, Sarah
(Date Created: Oct 2008)
- This survey was conducted on behalf of the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers in July 2008 with funding support from Portico. The survey of ALPSP members was undertaken to enhance awareness and to establish the nature and extent of the long-term preservation strategies members have planned or in place. While most members agree that long-term preservation urgently needs to be addressed most do not trust their present strategy or currently have no strategy to deliver.
