Washington, DC. This is about ensuring that online serial content, whether issued in parts or changes over time via a website, continues to be available for scholarship. The central take home message is that we all have a lot still to do.
1. The document discusses the development of JISC Mediahub, a new platform that will aggregate and provide access to various digital media collections from different sources.
2. JISC Mediahub will allow users to search across collections in one place and stream or download content depending on licensing.
3. An initial preview version of JISC Mediahub has been launched, allowing users to search metadata and view some content. The full service is planned for launch in August.
This document discusses the public nature of participating online for learning. It notes that posting content online, even just to friends, means it is not truly private. It also discusses how participating online can mean doing so in semi-public spaces where one's identity and work is visible. The document outlines some of the challenges this public nature introduces, such as managing one's online identity and ensuring safe spaces exist for learning and making mistakes. It emphasizes the importance of establishing trust online and considering the student experience of participating publicly.
The Cartogrammar project aimed to increase access and use of cartograms by developing an easy-to-use online cartogram generation tool. It created a robust application programming interface (API) and accompanying website to allow non-experts to generate and customize cartograms without needing specialized software or computational resources. The site includes an interface for generating bespoke cartograms, a gallery of user-submitted cartograms, and an embeddable widget so users can add cartogram generation to their own websites. This overcomes previous barriers to cartogram use related to complexity and computing requirements.
The document discusses the Keepers Registry, which aims to provide a global registry of organizations that archive e-journals and periodicals. It notes that digital scholarly content is now primarily online but risks being lost without archiving. The registry identifies which archiving agencies are preserving which publications to help ensure continued access over time on a global scale. It outlines the partners developing the registry and their goals of engaging more archiving organizations and establishing governance and sustainability. The registry currently focuses on content with ISSNs and the partners are working to improve coverage and functionality.

Stronger together: community initiatives in journal managementJisc
There has been a recent growth of initiatives to address common problems regarding current and long-term access to e-journal content. Jisc is at the forefront of many of these with the close participation and active input of educational institutions.
This session aims to summarise the current state of key themes with pointers to future directions of areas such as sustainability, the move towards e-only environments, and shared consortia approaches. It will provide an overview and panel discussion on developing the supporting infrastructure to meet the needs of users. The discussion will focus on how institutions, community bodies and service providers can best work together to ensure sustainable, long-term initiatives by seeking to introduce uniformity, standardisation and collaboration to an even greater extent.
The session will introduce two new Jisc-supported projects in this area, the Keepers Registry Extra and SafeNet initiatives, and discuss how these fit alongside existing Jisc services such as Knowledge Base+, UK LOCKSS Alliance, Journal Archives and JUSP (Journal Usage Statistics Portal). The panel will address how this catalogue of services contributes towards a coherent strategy in the management of e-journal content.
Stewardship of the Digital Scholarly Record and Digital Published HeritageNASIG
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.

Digital libraries offer a knowledge base that can be accessed online, overcoming geographical barriers. They support functions like document preservation, database management, information retrieval, and dissemination. Major digital library projects include those in the US funded by NSF, ARPA, and NASA involving 6 universities, and 35 Elib projects in the UK. In India, the IISc digital library was a pioneer, accessible online and containing publications and theses. However, issues around copyright, data protection, and sustainability must still be addressed before digital libraries fully replace conventional libraries.
The roles of library and librarian in information resourceAlexander Decker
This document discusses the roles of libraries and librarians in information resource sharing in the emerging information society. It conducted a study of three academic libraries in Kogi State, Nigeria to examine their readiness for information resource sharing. The study found that the libraries have basic ICT facilities needed for resource sharing like computers, databases, scanners, audiovisual equipment, e-books and journals, and internet connectivity. It identified roles for libraries in providing access to resources through online catalogs and networks, and securing materials through interlibrary loans. The study also found that effective application of ICT could enable wider access to knowledge, enhanced cooperation, and improved service quality. However, issues like inadequate funding, lack of infrastructure and skills were found to hamp

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

8. Digital back copy is not in the custody of libraries
Picture credit: http://somanybooksblog.com/2009/03/27/library-tour/
Libraries boast of ‘e-collections’,
but do they only have ‘e-connections’?
9. “Such materials no longer reside in libraries, but are
rather maintained exclusively in vendor databases
around the world. While we have made every effort to
compensate for this condition through our licenses,
such legal safeguards remain clearly inadequate. The
greatest single failure of research libraries in the past
decade has been to allow this situation to evolve.
We must now take whatever steps are necessary to
reverse this condition and to resume full responsibility
for preserving those materials upon which scholarship
will rely in future.”
(Atkinson 2006)
10. The Archive Layer
“Our institutional libraries are in retreat from
their role in providing the scholarly archive.”
“a diverse patchwork of services … provided
by cooperatives, national agencies, national
libraries, publishers, disciplinary hub
services and content archive stores […] all
of which claim to operate on behalf of
libraries and research.”
(MacColl, 2012)

23. “A trend towards shared services makes the structure
and planning for such frameworks more important.
This is an important area requiring conscious
coordination among libraries and higher education
institutions. The governance of the organizations to
which these responsibilities are entrusted also
becomes a critical community issue.”
(Dempsey, 2015)
24. “‘right-scaling’: … finding the optimal level at which
activities should be carried out. Libraries are going to have
to think harder about both sourcing and scaling. What does
it make sense to do at the institutional level? What does it
make sense to do collaboratively at a different scale? What
should be left entirely to other providers?”
(Dempsey 2015)
25. What should be done?
Accept responsibility for stewardship of collections
1. Use the Keepers Registry
2. Commit financial support for web-scale agencies, such
as CLOCKSS & Portico: invest 1%
3. Contribute your collection development expertise
• Use the Title List Comparison Tool in the Keepers Registry
4. Tell publishers, archiving agencies & national library
5. Consider options for collaborative action as IATUL
6. Avoid the 2020 Vision where you get the blame!
What can I do?
26. “the values [academic libraries] hold are of immense
importance to a world in which knowledge has been
transformed into intellectual property, the Web has
been turned into a shopping platform, and social
interaction online is used to collect and monetize our
lives […]. As the invisible infrastructure of our
technological future is taking shape, society needs
library values more than ever.”
(Fister, 2015)
