  1. E-journal preservation: economicsand practicalities at the LSE Presented by Bill Barker and Lisa Cardy

  2. Summary of today’s session • LOCKSS: what it is and how it works • The UK LOCKSS Alliance (UKLA) • The LSE’s LOCKSS box • Lessons learned so far • Populating your LOCKSS box: a look at our LOCKSS box and the interface • What we’ve achieved, what’s still to be done • Questions please • Further information

  3. LOCKSS: what it is and how it works • Lots of copies keeps stuff safe • Based at Stanford University Library since 2000 • Peer to peer networks using ACM technology link institutions • LOCKSS collects, compares, repairs and caches any web based content on an in-house machine • www.lockss.org for more details • 450 publishers and 6,000 ejournal titles • LOCKSS is a preservation tool

  4. The UK LOCKSS Alliance (UKLA) • 2005: JISC led pilot to encourage preservation and support a move to ejournals • 2008: Subscribed service • The JISC model licence and LOCKSS • The UKLA and its steering committee • Technical support based at EDINA • LSE has been a UK LOCKSS institution since the pilot stage • UKLA membership:20 institutions

  5. LOCKSS box at the LSE: from the pilot onwards • Intermittent input until recently • Lack of imperative = lack of staff time • The importance of senior management commitment to ejournal preservation • Local IT support • Administering a LOCKSS box: quick and basic or time and labour intensive

  6. Lessons learned • Strategic importance of ejournal preservation • Basic or involved approach: dependent upon your own collection and reporting requirements • Regular status checks • Talk to other LOCKSS instituions • Take advantage of UKLA events

  7. Populating your LOCKSS box • As new content becomes available institutions are emailed details about the publisher, titles and issues available for preserving in LOCKSS

  8. What we’ve achieved • Value for money: LOCKSS fee is a fraction of total cost of our current preserved content • 75% of our Emerald tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS • 48% of our Sage tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS • 80% of our OUP tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS • 90% of our Springer tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS • Supporting and driving the LSE Library’s e-first policy

  9. What’s still to be done • Integrate our LOCKSS box with our link resolver • Automate serving content and simulate a trigger event • Make qualitative and detailed quantitative statements about the extent of our LOCKSS content (PEPRS) • Preserve more than ejournals

  10. Questions and further information • Any questions please • serials.manager@lse.ac.uk • www.lockss.org • http://www.lockssalliance.ac.uk/ • http://edina.ac.uk/projects/peprs/#home • www.jisc-collections.ac.uk
