what was once available in print ,
on-shelf locally … … is now online & accessed
remotely,
‘anytime/anywhere’
We’ve seen improved Ease of Access…
But what ofContinuity of Access?
(this is mostly due to publishers)
Digital back copy is not in the custody of libraries

Libraries boast of ‘e-collections’, but do they only have ‘e-connections’?
to ensure researchers, students & their teachers have
ease and continuing access to online resources needed for scholarship
licence to use
“ease” “continuing”
usability preservation
access to content & tools
Our Shared Task is
Restricted
Open
Stewardship: delegated responsibility to care for or improve over time
“The Scholarly Record has a fuzzy edge”
‘e-journals’
Websites, Databases, Repositories
‘book-length work’
‘Gov Docs’
Limit Scope: The (digital) Scholarly Record
conference proceedings
‘e-magazines’
‘e-newsmedia’
‘data as findings’
Widen scope: + Resources Needed for Scholarship
e-theses
e-methods: software
Online Continuing Resources
Issued in Parts ‘Serials’
Content changes over time ‘Integrating’
‘e-journals’
Websites, Databases, Repositories
‘Gov Docs’
Practical focus today on what is identified as issued online as a ‘continuing resource’
Conference proceedings
‘e-magazines’
‘e-newsmedia’
Stewardship for a significant part of our‘Published Heritage’
E-theses
The wider scope includes the

All Hail The Keepers: offering digital shelving
① Web-scale not-for-profit archiving agencies:
② National libraries …
③ Research libraries: consortia & specialist centres …

Many archiving organisations a Good Thing
“Digital information is best preserved by replicating it at multiple archives run by autonomous organizations”
B. Cooper and H. Garcia-Molina (2002)
Bad stuff will happen!
But how do we know who is keeping what?
thekeepers.org as Global Monitor
… to discover who is looking after what
ISSN-L as kernel field
Streams of issued content being archived?
The Keepers Registry reports titles ‘ingested & archived’ by at least 1 ‘keeper’:
16,558 In 2011
21,557 in 2013
28,507 as at August 2015
* More archiving & more knowledge as more archives report into Registry!
More ISSN assigned 35,000 in 2009
100,000 in 2012
169,000 in 2015
Two Key Statistics: Ingested / Identified
‘Ingest Ratio’ = titles ingested by one or more Keeper / total ‘online serials’ in ISSN Register
= 28,507 / 169,634 [as of August 2015]
=> 17%‘KeepSafe Ratio’ = titles being ingested by 3+
Keepers / total ‘online serials’ in ISSN Register
= 10,019 / 169,634
=> 6%
Archival Status of what Libraries List (USA)
‘Ingest Ratio’ = 22% to 28% about a quarter=> fate of c.75% unknown
In 2011/12 three major research libraries in the USA checked archival status of serial titles regarded as important

Every librarycan now do this via Members Area in the Keepers Registry
with usage logs from the UK OpenURL Router• 53,311 online titles requested in UK during 2012
3 years later, in 2015:
‘Ingest Ratio’ = 36% (19,231/53,311)
=> fate of 34,080 titles unknown
‘KeepSafe Ratio’ = 20% (10,847/53,311)

Some Publishers’ Titles are being kept very safe
very many ‘at risk’ e-journals from many (small & not so small) publishers
BIG publishers
act early but incompletely
Priority: find economic way to archive content from
① Web-scale not-for-profit archiving agencies:
② National libraries …
③ Research libraries: consortia & specialist centres …

• Strategies to ensure archiving titles in the 'Long Tail’ – of each nation’s ‘Published Heritage’
• E-journals, Government Documents, NewsMedia
• How to cooperate to deliver assurance that all the parts (volumes & issues) of a given title are archived
• And of course, the support (funds & collection development judgment) that they need from us– from a library community who increasingly depend on their actions
– ‘Right-scaling’“ …determining which materials are best managed at the local level, which are best moved into some form of shared stewardship infrastructure “above the institution”
(Constance Malpas & Brian Lavoie, 2014)
Themes for today & tomorrow …
