Cooperative Trends in Digital Archiving: An Open Discussion

Abstract

ABSTRACT.In putting together the NASIG strategy session "Cooperative Trends in Digital Archiving," the three panelists, Daviess Menefee (Elsevier), Eileen Fenton (Portico), and Marilyn Geller (Lesley University), discussed issues they faced in their own organizations. All three panelists shared concerns about the need for archiving in general and for archiving born digital journals specifically, and about core organizational values that led them to pursue digital archiving. They had common concerns about who should be involved in digital archiving projects and how it should be accomplished. There were some interesting parallels in the decision making process within each organization. In this presentation, each of the panelists discussed how and why they came to their decisions, and how they all relied on the CLIR report, E-Journal Archiving Metes and Bounds, 1 to measure their progress and determine the next steps.

“…In recent years, however, the substantial and active use of archives has been increasingly emphasized. In accordance with this, quickly identifying users' needs and ensuring close interactions between users and archiving experts in order to satisfy these needs have been recent issues emerging in the field of archiving services (Geller et al, 2008;Woo, 2006). These type of environmental changes surrounding archiving services have led to the recognition that mobile-based AIS is often more suitable than web-based AIS.…”
