SHERPA project
Added 16 March 2004
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk
SHERPA aims to investigate issues to do with the future of scholarly communication and publishing. In particular, it is initiating the development of openly accessible institutional digital repositories of research output in a number of research universities. These so-called 'e-print archives' will contain papers by researchers from the participating institutions. The project will investigate the IPR, quality control and other key management issues associated with making the research literature freely available to the research community. It will also investigate technical questions, including interoperability between repositories and digital preservation of e-prints.

Strategic Action Agenda for Preservation in Research Libraries
Added 1 March 2007
http://www.digitalpr...aforPreservation.doc
Recognizing and anticipating the magnitude of changes underway in the information landscape, ARL created the Task Force on the Future of Preservation in ARL Libraries to engage research library leaders, stakeholders, and technical experts to define critical challenges in preservation today and propose an action agenda to meet them. The recommendations described in this report draw heavily on the ideas of thirty colleagues with diverse perspectives on preservation who attended a meeting convened by the Task Force at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, September 27-29, 2006. Participants in this meeting articulated changes in the nature of what must be preserved, highlighted the need for many institutions to work collaboratively to effect preservation, and explored the intersections of preservation and related library practices.
