Academic libraries rely increasingly on born-digital content, whether it is commercially produced and licensed or widely available through open access (OA). Responding to this concern, this panel discussion will review a number of critical issues pertaining to e-journal preservation. We will reflect on what has been learned so far from the Center for Research Library’s (CRL) Trusted Repository Audit and Certification (TRAC) process and review concerns that pertain to preservation and access to OA literature. We will also look at recent progress such as the Public Knowledge Project’s development of a Private LOCKSS Network (PLN) to preserve Open Journal System (OJS) journals and the Directory of Open Access Journal’s (DOAJ) efforts in increasing awareness of OA publishers on preservation matters. Also included in the session will be a consideration of how the common preservation strategies, such as Portico, LOCKSS, Archive-It, institutional repositories, and self-archiving done by publishers, are being perceived by library staff who are involved in selection and acquisition processes.
