Where Do We Keep That? The New Keepers Registry and the Digital Content in Your Collection

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Keepers Registry is an international registry of e-serial content preserved by archiving institutions and organizations. Willa Tavernier and Ted Westervelt examine the recent shifts in libraries’ holdings and expenditures to increasingly digital content and show how the Keepers Registry, now hosted by the ISSN International Centre, can aid libraries as they identify at-risk journals and advocate for increased digital preservation. This presentation provides a glimpse into how digital preservation impacts the ongoing value and access for future scholars and the importance of a preservation commitment by individual institutions manifested through collective actions.
