NASIG 2017

This presentation discusses how The Keepers Registry and the network of Keepers is attempting to tackle the issue of digital preservation for electronic serials specifically.  First identifying the scope of the problem being addressed, it moves on to the successes, in preservation and in measuring that preservation, before moving on to the challenges still to be surmounted.  It touches upon some of the specific cases on which this preservation is focussing, including legal deposit and regional library consortia, as well as engagement with OA journals.  It finishes with the broader plan of action to help allow the Keepers to accomplish their digital preservation goals, laid out in the statement they issued last August, calling upon all stakeholders in the world of scholarly communication, notably both publishers and research libraries, and setting actions they can take to help in this mission.
