Greetings. A few months back we invited you to be part
of a small, informal group to explore the benefits and costs of the various
e-journal preservation solutions http://darchives.crl.edu/display/DADR/Reports
, by sharing information about the performance and costs of services such as
LOCKSS, Portico, and consortium-based hosting of e-journals and other
electronic content. We posted eleven survey questions about LOCKSS and
Portico for you to answer at http://darchives.crl.edu/display/DADR/Survey+--+Eleven+Quick+Questions.
We would like to move ahead on this effort and so ask that you respond to the
survey questions, if you haven't already, as appropriate to your situation, by
July 30. (Please answer each question by using the "Reply to This"
button.) Your answers will be visible only to the other members of our informal
group http://darchives.crl.edu/display/DADR/Group+Members
There will be a conference call to discuss the responses and decide on next
steps on Wednesday August 27 at noon, Central Standard Time. Please let me know
whether you can participate.
Many thanks.
Bernie
