From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:33:45 -0500 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: https://www.youtube.com/user/CRLdotEDU
