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.

Something Old, Something New, Something Bold, Something Cool: A Marriage of T...NASIG
Carol Ann Davis and Jason Boczar, presenters.
For the past several years, many libraries have been developing institutional repositories to house their open access publishing efforts to both showcase and preserve their faculty’s research. Some of those same libraries have been building sizable digital collections, often built from digitized versions of materials in their special collections.
So what happens when you put these two groups together? The University of South Florida Tampa Library did exactly that by creating a new Digital Scholarship Services unit. The union of these two groups has created new synergies between staff in complementary areas of the library, as we combine unique skill sets from each group to offer new services to the faculty.
This presentation will discuss why this change was made, examine some of the benefits and growing pains of this change, and showcase some of the unusual projects that have resulted. For example, a group of faculty from the College of Education has a multimodal project featuring new methodological approaches for analyzing various formats such as websites, images, and film. The library also has two research associates who are archaeologists creating three dimensional representations of artifacts for cultural heritage preservation that are now embedded with metadata in the repository. Creating such collections not only highlights the university’s work but provides materials professors can use to enhance their course curricula and use technology to engage students in new and innovative ways.

“Repository” does not capture the dynamic potential of an institutional repository. Much more than a publishing mechanism for campus scholarship and an archive of college history, it is an opportunity to partner with nearly every entity across campus in order to advance the institution’s mission and goals. The institutional repository calls attention to the library’s unique ability to facilitate campus-wide collaboration and fosters community by uniting disparate groups around a common purpose. More specifically, the institutional repository can play an important role in recruiting new students, enhancing current students’ desire to produce high quality work, strengthening institutional engagement among alumni, enriching relationships with the surrounding community, and more. But to come to fruition, these possibilities require strong, collaborative, on-going partnerships between librarians and the rest of campus – partnerships developed by thoughtful, imaginative outreach efforts tailored to the institutional culture.
This presentation will consider how the institutional repository can help support the institution’s mission and vision, brainstorm ideas for working with a wide variety of academic and co-curricular departments and offices, explore how to organize and structure outreach efforts in order to foster teamwork and generate buy-in, and discuss the value of highlighting successful ventures as a means to create even more collaborations in the future.

The Clarke Studios Collection in TCD Library: A study in collaboration - Mar...CONUL Conference
Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Marta Bustillo, Tim Keefe, Trinity College Dublin.
Abstract
"This paper will discuss the Clarke Stained Glass Studios Collection, a collaborative project between the Library at Trinity College Dublin and the Digital Repository of Ireland. The project is digitising, cataloguing and making accessible to researchers and the wider public the business archives and the designs for stained glass windows of the Clarke Stained Glass Studios, held in the Manuscripts & Archives Research Library at Trinity College Dublin. The collection will be available both through the Digital Collections site at Trinity College Dublin, and through the Digital Repository of Ireland.
The paper will explore the relevance of a research-collection based approach to digitisation of library materials; the value of a digitisation project of this kind for teachers, researchers and the general public; the challenges facing such projects; and how these can be resolved through effective collaborations with internal and external partners. The challenges include issues such as the management of the copyright and orphan works workflow; deciding on an appropriate level of description for the digitised materials; metadata mapping; and promoting the collection to the right audience. The strategies to face those challenges include collaboration with library cataloguers, subject librarians and academics; tapping on the expertise of associated projects such as the DRI; and organising research symposia to promote the digital collection internally and externally. The literature on digital collections projects in university libraries will be reviewed in order to provide an international context to our case study.

Session: Emerging new roles for VR professionals: research into and beyond the arts
At a time of international financial instability, with positions constantly under threat, analogue collections facing forced closure and space at a premium, this session will hear from VR professionals who are reinventing themselves and evolving roles in changing landscapes, pushing into new disciplines and spaces.
Each speaker will discuss the new roles they have taken on, either by accident or design and how their experiences are shaping their view of the VR profession in “the tens”. In many cases this has meant working across disciplines; making their professional presence felt in the classroom and the boardroom; developing new skills but in all cases, broadening their horizons through collaboration.
Speakers will discuss supporting courses beyond traditional visual arts, design and art history; collaborating with libraries, IT and faculty in course development and delivery; working with artists and archivists to preserve and expose their work, collections and archives; building repositories; involvement in project funding applications; working in arts research and coordinating non-traditional research outputs.

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.

Going, going, gone - Can legal deposit save us from the digital black hole? -...CONUL Conference
Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Margaret Flood, Arlene Healy, Trinity College Dublin.
Abstract
The internet has evolved beyond recognition since its advent in 1980s; fundamentally changing the way we live, work and communicate. However its pervasiveness is mirrored by the transient nature of much of the content and the consequent loss of collective memory has been described as the digital black hole. Historically nations have relied on national libraries and other legal deposit libraries, to collect preserve and provide ongoing access to the intellectual, cultural and social outputs of their country, and in an increasingly digital world restricting legal deposit to publications in print has put the national record at risk. Over the last decade countries across the world have extended legal deposit provisions in their legislation to cover non-print formats. This presentation focuses on the experience of the UK, as a case study, from new legislation in 2003 through the experience of implementation in 2013 to where we are today. Challenges, viewed through the lens of an academic library, include defining what is national in a digital world; balancing the interests of multiple stakeholders; technical challenges to implement robust collection, preservation and access systems within legal constraints; dealing with multiple and rapidly evolving formats; the sheer scale and cost of collecting and preserving content and providing ongoing access to it. Two years on from UK implementation of the legislation how successful have the legal deposit libraries been in this endeavour, what does the future look like and what lessons might be applicable to the Irish digital environment?
Biography
"Margaret Flood heads the Collection Management Division of Trinity College Library. She has been actively engaged with the British Library and UK legal deposit libraries since 2003 in the planning to bring non-print legal deposit from legislation to implementation and ultimately business as usual. She represents TCD on a number of key committees including the Legal Deposit Implementation Group and Joint Committee for Legal Deposit which draws its representation from the publishing and library communities. She chairs the TCD internal Steering Group responsible for coordination of the implementation of UK Non-Print Legal Deposit within TCD. Margaret also chairs the CONUL Regulatory Affairs Sub-Committee which includes legal deposit in its remit. On behalf of CONUL the Sub-Committee responded to public the two public consultations initiated by the Copyright Review Committee including detailed submissions on the urgency of legislating for digital legal deposit for Ireland

Today, every library is slowly getting digitized. A digital library is a library where you can find digital repositories, or digital collections, and online databases of digital objects. The objects may include text, still images, audio, video, digital documents, or other digital media formats. Most digital libraries provide services for twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and they can be accessed anywhere anytime. No organization can remain relevant in the knowledge economy without facilitating digital library access.This paper examines the impact of digital transformation on libraries. Matthew N. O.

This presentation is on how to regain authority control in a large research library catalog: first, dealing with a backlog of problems from years without authority control and second, creating a process for ongoing workflows to realistically maintain authority control when new records are added to the collection.
The Serial Cohort: A Confederacy of CatalogersNASIG
Speaker: Mandy Hurt
In 2018, at a time when our department was shrinking through attrition, the decision was made to further leverage the particular skill sets of a select group of monographic catalogers by training them to also undertake the complex copy cataloging of serials.
This presentation concerns the assumptions underlying how this decision was originally made, the initial plan for how this would be accomplished by CONSER Bridge Training, the eventual formation of the Serials Cohort with a view to creating an iterative process I would design and manage, and the problems, obstacles and time constraints faced and addressed along the way.
Calculating how much your University spends on Open Access and what to do abo...NASIG
Librarians are working hard to understand how much money their university is spending on open access article processing fees (APCs), and how much of what they subscribe to is available as OA. This information is useful when making subscription decisions, considering Read and Publish agreements, rethinking library open access budgets, and designing Institution-wide OA policies.
This session will talk concretely about how to calculate the impact of Open Access on *your* university. It will provide an overview on how to estimate the amount of money spent across a university on Open Access fees: we will discuss underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend and give an overview of useful data sources, including:
FlourishOA
Microsoft Academic Graph
PLOS API
Unpaywall Journals
We will also talk about Open Access on the subscription side, including how much of what you subscribe to is available as open access and how you can use that in your subscription decisions and negotiations.
The presenters are the cofounders of Our Research, the nonprofit company behind Unpaywall, the primary source of Open Access data worldwide.

Measure Twice and Cut Once: How a Budget Cut Impacted Subscription Renewals f...NASIG
Speakers: Ilda Cardenas, Keri Prelitz, Greg Yorba
The process of looking at subscriptions with the goal of proactively downsizing revealed that the library’s existing renewal workflows were outdated and in need of regular analysis to identify underused resources. Additionally, this project uncovered shortcomings of analysis that is reliant on usage data, the unexpected ramifications of large-scale subscription cancellations, as well as the need for improved communication within and between the many library departments affected by subscription cancellations.
Analyzing workflows and improving communication across departments NASIG
Presented by Jharina Pascual and Sarah Wallbank.
The presentation provides people with simple techniques for analyzing their local workflow and information-sharing practices, some ideas for interrogating and improving intra-technical services communication, and ideas for simple changes that can improve communication and build a sense of community/joint purpose within or across departments.
Supporting Students: OER and Textbook Affordability Initiatives at a Mid-Size...NASIG
Presented by Jennifer L. Pate.
With support from the president and provost of the university, Collier Library adopted strategic purchasing initiatives, including database purchases to support specific courses as well as purchasing reserve copies of textbooks for high-enrollment, required classes. In addition, the scholarly communications librarian became a founding member of the OER workgroup on campus. This group’s mission is to direct efforts for increasing faculty awareness and adoption of OER. This presentation discusses the structure of the each of these programs from initial idea to implementation. Included will be discussions of assessment of faculty and student awareness, development of an OER grant program, starting a textbook purchasing program, promotion of efforts, funding, and future goals.
Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

Presented by Jenny Hoops and Margaret McLaughlin.
As web accessibility initiatives increase across institutions, it is important not only to reframe and rethink policies, but also to develop sustainable and tenable methods for enforcing accessibility efforts. For institutional repositories, it is imperative to determine the extent to which both the repository manager and the user are responsible for depositing accessible content. This presentation allows us to share our accessibility framework and help repository and content managers craft sustainable, long-term goals for accessible content in institutional repositories, while also providing openly available resources for short-term benefit.
Linked Data is exploding in the library world, but the biggest problems libraries have are coming up with the time or money involved in converting their records, looking into Linked Data programs, finding community support, and all the various other issues that arise as part of developing new methods. Likewise, one of the biggest hurdles for libraries and linked data is that they do not know what to do to get involved. As we have fewer people available and smaller budgets each year, we would like to explore ways in which libraries can get involved in the process without expending an undue amount of their already dwindling resources. To see how linked data can be applied, we will look at the example of the Smithsonian Libraries (SIL). Over the past 18 months, SIL has been preparing for the transition from MARC to linked open data. This session will talk about various SIL projects and initiatives (such as the FAST headings project and the introduction of Wikidata and WikiBase); how to incorporate linked data elements into MARC records; and how to develop staff and give them proficiency with new tools and workflows.

Walk this way: Online content platform migration experiences and collaboration NASIG
In this session, a librarian and a publisher share their perspectives on content platform migrations, and the Working Group Co-chairs will describe the group’s efforts to-date and expected outcomes. Our publisher-side speaker will describe issues they must consider when their content migrates, such as providing continuous access, persistent linking, communicating with stakeholders, and working with vendors. Our librarian speaker will describe their experience and steps they take during migrations, such as receiving notifications about migrations, identifying affected e-resources, updating local systems to ensure continuous access, and communicating with their front-line staff and patrons.

“Read & Publish” agreements continue to gain global attention. What’s rarely discussed when these new access and article processing models are introduced is the paperwork, back-end technology and overall management required to implement the new program that works for all involved. This panel, comprised of a librarian, publisher, and researcher, will focus on the complexities of developing, implementing and using the infrastructures of different Read & Publish models and the challenges of developing a seamless experience for everyone.
From article submission to publication to final reporting, the panel will discuss the “hidden” impact that new workflows will have on stakeholders in scholarly communications. Time will be allotted for Q&A and attendee participation is encouraged.

A multi-institutional model for advancing open access journals and reclaiming...NASIG
The presenters will provide brief overviews of CIL and PDXScholar, and they will detail the challenges and ultimate successes of this multi-institutional model for advancing open access journals and reclaiming control of the scholarly record.
Knowledge Bases: The Heart of Resource ManagementNASIG
This session will discuss the knowledge base metadata lifecycle, current and upcoming metadata standards, and the effect that knowledge bases have on discovery and e-resource management. The presenters will look at ways knowledge bases can be leveraged to create downstream tools for resource management and discovery. The session will also provide different perspectives on knowledge bases, including from librarians and product managers, as well as a discussion of the NISO's KBART Automation recommended practice and what this could mean for knowledge bases in the future. The session will also include a conversation regarding how leveraging knowledge bases can aid librarians in improving resource discovery within their own libraries and ultimately decrease the amount of time spent on metadata workflows. Through this presentation, we also aim to improve communication between the library community and metadata providers and creators.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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

③ How to ensure Open Access means Assured Access
④ Collaborative effort
3. What should be done next?
23. ① The role of Nationals: value of Legal Deposit for
[Digital] Published Heritage
Comprehensive nature of legal deposit
lends itself to the acquisition and
preservation of the published heritage of
a nation
• Covers all types of publishers:
Scholarly, Trade, Personal, etc.
– Reflected in the scope of acquisition for print
– Reflected in the scope of acquisition for digital
• Gives recognition to the value of
publications outside the scholarly
record
24. Caveats on Legal Deposit for
[Digital] Published Heritage
Natural tendency to gather
the low-hanging fruit – which
generally means collecting
from the large scholarly
publishers
NB: Legal Deposit has scope
that extends to foreign material
distributed in that country
25. Challenges to Legal Deposit for
[Digital] Published Heritage
Legal
• Macro: Laws vary nation by nation
• Micro: High-profile, delicate negotiation in
each instance
Technical
• Let a thousand flowers bloom
– Large number of individual publishers
• Libraries have a lot of flower picking to do
– Less technical aptitude/resources on the part of
small publishers
26. Impact of Legal Deposit on [Digital]
Published Heritage
Difficult to tell the impact – current or potential
• Not all National Libraries have digital Legal Deposit
– Even when they do, it is often a slow business to build up
• Few are Keepers, who recognize benefit of sharing
knowledge openly
There is real value in Legal Deposit, as shown in its use in
collecting print and, increasingly, electronic works
Legal Deposit is an important tool for preservation of digital
published heritage – but it is not the entire toolbox

A. OCUL Model License: Local Load & Preservation Agreement
• Legal framework for preservation defined in subscription
licenses
Three rights:
1. To load content locally and serve it to authorized users
2. To continue to serve content after subscription period expires
3. To be able to transform that content to support long-term use
B. Scholars Portal: a TDR [Audited by CRL, certified in 2012]
• Library-based governance
• Preserve what our members collect
• Open or bright archive model
• Seamless post-cancellation access
journals.scholarsportal.info
29. Scholarly Publishing in Canada
• Heavy emphasis in Canadian scholarly publishing upon
Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)
+ ‘applied/practitioner’ literature
• STEM scholars [in Canada, as elsewhere] work within
context of larger North American & International
scholarly societies
• Journals in STEM rarely get established or succeed in Canada
• Language duality means a strong and independent
publishing culture in Quebec
• French is one of two official languages
30. Diversity & Fragility
• Many players involved
- Scholarly Societies; University Presses; Research Councils
- A small number of commercial publishers
• Highly dependent on support from granting agencies
• e.g SSHRC Aid to Journals Program
• Few large journals, many
more small journals
• A high rate of cessation

Working Together to Ensure the Future of the Digital
Scholarly Record
This outlines the actions now required to tackle the
evolving challenges of preserving and ensuring the
long term accessibility of digital scholarship.
Addressing publishers, research libraries and national
libraries, the statement sets out a series of
recommended activities that they can undertake to
support archiving and preservation initiatives.

Endorsements for the Keepers Statement
38. Recommendations from The Keepers Network
National Libraries (& National Institutions)
1. Provide leadership in setting preservation priorities for your
country’s serial publications
• Work with university-based research libraries & their associations
2. Use national collecting mandate to ensure the preservation of
content produced by small, local and regional publishers
• These are at significantly greater risk of loss
3. Forge partnerships with other archiving agencies
• Explore ways of working together to maximise coverage and find
economies of effort.
4. Promote awareness & understanding of importance of
archiving to stakeholder groups within your country.
• Advocate dedicated resources & support from government /funders.
39. Recommendations from The Keepers Network
Research libraries
1. Actively support at least one archiving organisation
• preferably more than one Keeper
2. Designate responsibility for long-term access to e-journals
• library staff can then be active in the Keepers community
3. List your priority titles & make these known to the Keepers
4. Make long-term access issues part of the licensing process
• ask publishers for a digital preservation plan
• explain why archiving is important to libraries in your region/subject
5. Increase awareness & understanding of the issues with your
faculty staff and senior management.

• As individuals
41. To borrow once more from Anne Kenney
The Digital Preservation Task Force is an important step forward
42. Targets for 2017
• More of the ‘long tail’ will have been archived
– 20+ academic libraries have provided the Keepers with priority
titles of e-publications
– Each Keeper will have acquired content from 20+ journals
published by small publishers
• Significant increase in the KeepSafe Ratio
– A ‘Keepers Badge’ awarded to publishers who invest their
content with at least three Keepers
• Increase support of Keepers & Keepers Registry
– Double the number of research libraries active in one or
more archiving service
