Libraries invest millions of dollars annually in commercially produced research databases. How can affordable, persistent access to these costly digital resources be ensured? What specific archiving and replacement provisions do the various database publishers currently offer? Is persistence now a standard to be expected? What innovations can libraries and researchers expect in the near future?     

Speakers:

  • Introduction:  Marie Waltz, Center for Research Libraries, on core expectations and recent developments in trusted digital repositories.
  • Tim Babbitt, Senior Vice President, Platform Management, ProQuest, on ProQuest’s development of a sustainable platform for long-term content management.
  • Stephanie Orphan, Publisher Relations Manager, Portico, on the operational and business model impact of Portico’s program to archive digitized collections of historical materials.
  • Caitlin Tillman, Head, Collection Development, University of Toronto Libraries and Chair of the OCUL (Ontario Council of University Libraries) Information Resources Committee.  Speaking on Scholars Portal, an academic-based digital repository locally hosting licensed content.
  • Comments: Aisha Harvey, Head, Collection Development, Duke University, on a collections officer’s viewpoint of how and whether these trends influence local investment decisions currently, and how they might in the future.

 

The CRL Global Resources Forum is a platform for analysis and expertise which enables research libraries to make informed decisions and optimize returns on their investment in traditional and digital collections.
