CRL Webinar: Perpetual Access, Myth and Reality

Wednesday, January 20, 2:00-3:30 p.m. Central Time

Electronic publishing has changed the collection development paradigm
from acquisition to licensing. At this point in the age of digital
technologies, electronic publications can be short-lived or unstable,
while our understanding of digital preservation infrastructures is in
the earliest stages. These factors pose new challenges to research
libraries in ensuring long-term access to scholarly materials.
Publishers and preservation services are beginning to address these
challenges in different ways.

This webinar offers three perspectives on publisher efforts to date,
and on how effective those efforts are likely to be in meeting the
needs of libraries and scholars.

·      An academic perspective:  James J. O'Donnell, University
Librarian, Arizona State University Libraries, and Chair of the Board
of Directors, American Council of Learned Societies

·      A publisher and service-provider perspective:  Kevin M.
Guthrie, President, ITHAKA, and JSTOR founding director.

·      A library perspective:  Ivy Anderson, Interim Executive
Director, California Digital Library

 Ann Okerson, CRL Senior Advisor on Electronic Resources Strategy,
will introduce and moderate the event.

CRL’s webinars are open to all staff and researchers at CRL member
libraries. Recordings are available later on CRL’s YouTube channel:
