UK LOCKSS Alliance
• The UK LOCKSS Alliance is a co-operative organization whose goal is to ensure continuing access to scholarly work in ways that are sustainable over the long term.
• Intention is to help UK institutions ensure coherent coverage– Preserve at-risk content in LOCKSS– Coordinate library demands to give JISC Collections greater negotiating leverage
with publishers
– How comprehensive should LOCKSS collections be?– Is it satisfactory if there are alternative preservation and post-cancellation access
sources?
NESLi2 and NESLi2-SMP Survey
• Limited resources available for content development – To date, UKLA Support has not catered for negotiation.– (technical support, programme coordination, software
development & content testing)
• Negotiating support was offered by JISC Collections at UKLA Steering Committee meeting in 2010– Requested that publisher demand was assessed– Coordinated demands gives JISC Collections greater negotiating
leverage with publishers
• NESLi2 and NESLi2-SMP Publishers were included– Although focus is on NESLi2-SMP Publishers

NESLi2-SMP Publishers

What happens next
• Key publishers:– Walter de Gruyter– Brill– Professional Engineering Publishing: now SAGE
* Thus PEP are now participating in LOCKSS
• JISC Collections to discuss at Licensing Strategy Group Meeting – NESLi2 publishers may present more difficult challenge, but sustained
pressure will help
• UK LOCKSS Alliance should develop Collection Development Policy– Rules for determining the content ‘in scope’– ‘Risk register’ to help prioritisation– Development work to preserve content

PEPRS: Piloting an E-Journal Preservation Registry Service
• Who is doing what, and how do we know?
• PEPRS provides easily accessible information about inclusion of journals in preservation services
• Highlights those e-journals for which no arrangements exist.
• PEPRS is a monitoring tool for archival action
• Beta Release launched end of April 2011– With information from:– Portico, CLOCKSS Archive, Global LOCKSS Network, KB e-Depot, British
Library

Original work that led to PEPRS
• Rightscom / Loughborough University, 2007
– Confirmed expressed need among libraries and policy makers
– Warned of potential burden on digital preservation agencies
– PEPRS has been developed in accordance with the recommendations of that report* an e-journals preservation registry should be built* UK Union Catalogue of Serials (SUNCAT)
or SHERPA (Open Access) get involved – SUNCAT is hosted and managed at EDINA
PEPRS Project Details
• Funded by JISC (Preservation Programme) – Phase 1 from August 2008 – July 2010– Phase 2 from August 2010 – July 2012
• Project Partners– EDINA, University of Edinburgh– ISSN International Centre, Paris
• Evaluation carried out by Charles Beagrie Limited for the JISC in February 2010
PEPRS Demo
• http://www.peprs.org
• De Gruyter
• Brill
• IOS Press
– What do we in UKLA regard as ‘at-risk’?– Use PEPRS to identify gaps in coverage
* Extract from PEPRS the set of publishers not participating in any initiative– Highlight ‘Open Access’ conditions in PEPRS?
• E-Depot progress with DOAJ content– International Journal of Poultry Science– Biology of Exercise– Choregia

PEPRS: Example of Title-Level Detail
Open Access Content
• DOAJ and KB Pilot Project announced in 2009– Pilot to establish workflow to preserve open access journals
listed with DOAJ– Sample of OA journals preserved in e-Depot
– Long term archiving of DOAJ journals to become an integral part of DOAJ service
* DOAJ negotiates inclusion in e-Depot with OA publishers (Publisher was to ‘opt-out’)
* KB receive the content and normalised metadata from DOAJ* DOAJ content archived in the e-Depot will be available online under
an OA licence via the KB catalogue
– Initial inspection in PEPRS, does not seem as though comprehensive preservation occurred

Challenge of Content Testing in LOCKSS
• Each ‘publishing platform’ needs a unique plugin– EmeraldInsight plugin– Open Journal System plugin– DrogoResearch plugin
* Small OA publishers need individual attention
• Test process is being redeveloped during 2011– Operate with new Linux platform – Simplify process to translate into more complete content ranges,
with greater title coverage
• May need to communicate more about release schedule– What content is ‘in progress’ – Hard as publishing platforms and priorities change
16
Discussion Points
• How can PEPRS support UK LOCKSS Alliance activities?– To identify ‘at-risk’ content?
– What other functionality do you wish to see in place?
• How can we make better use of resources to negotiate more content?– Need to see follow through from the survey.
• How can the UKLA better support UK community priorities?– More frequent surveys to identify content?– ie. For open access content?
– How do you think we can improve the content development process?
– What do you think is missing?
