LOCKSS: An affordable, cooperative, e- preservation and e-archiving
program
D-Lib Competence Center
ISTI-CNR, via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy
http://dlibcenter.iei.pi.cnr.it
We are pleased to present a two day course on how to create and provide
access to local collections of electronic journals; and while
simultaneously and affordably preserving and archiving this locally held
materials for the very long term. This course will present the
strategy, tactics, and technology of the LOCKSS Program (
<http://lockss.stanford.edu/> http://lockss.stanford.edu). The LOCKSS
software is open-source and is freely available for download and use.
The course will be held in Pisa on March 4, March 5, 2003, and it is
organized in the context of the Digital Library Competence Center
(IST-2001-32587), a project funded within the FP5 of the European
Community. The competence center aims at providing specific user
communities with access to advanced DL testbeds, services, expertise and
knowledge. Courses at the Digital Library Competence Center are
addressed to librarians, archivists, scholars and technicians, and offer
direct experience of advanced digital library testbeds.
Courses are free of charge. Registration is requested, maximum number of
participants for each course is 20
Owning, Preserving, Archiving E-Journals
Or
Can You Have A Library If You Can't Build Local Collections?
Currently, libraries lease access to web-published journals from the
publisher's web sites. The LOCKSS Program provides librarians with
affordable tools and methods to uphold their traditional role as
society's custodian of scholarly materials. This course will provide a
philosophical and practical introduction to the techniques and methods
for: (1) building and providing access to local e-journals collections;
(2) leveraging an international technical and social international
preservation and archiving system.
This two day course will provide a senior level introduction to:
* Strategic business and management issues
* at the local level, what are the costs of building and
maintaining local e-journal collections
* at the international level, how will the LOCKSS program and
technology be sustained once grant funding has ceased
* Collection issues
* collection development (local collection development decision
processes; engaging and leveraging publisher relationships, the
importance of local consortia, the role of local collections for the
international library community)
* collection management (managing workflow, philosophy and use of
preservation metadata for a decentralized archive)
* collection access (integrating LOCSKS caches into institutional
networks; reader access when the publisher's web site is unavailable or
a subscription has been cancelled)
* Preservation and Archiving technology
* Installing and configuring a LOCKSS cache to collect, preserve
and archive e-journal content (this is a hands on activity)
* Situating local LOCKSS caches within institutional networks so
readers have seamless access to locally held content when that same
content is no longer available from the publisher's web site
* Customizing and applying the LOCKSS technology to apply to
locally or nationally produced e-journals
* Adapting the LOCKSS technology from e-journals to other web
based genres
