NASIG Model Preservation Policy

Wednesday, November 16, 2022 4:00 PM EST

As the digital scholarly record grows in size, volume, and complexity, the stakeholders responsible for stewarding this information into the future must develop plans, strategies, and activities to ensure that these materials remain available and usable for as long as they are needed. These stakeholders include publishers (whether free-standing or based in academic institutions) of materials for which long-term availability is essential to the advancement of collective knowledge. Stakeholders also include the organizations that provide the network of contextual metadata, data, software, standards, and other materials linked to these publications.

NASIG Digital Preservation Committee has developed a tool designed to help publishers measure, grow, and publicize their organization’s commitment to preserving the scholarship entrusted to it for publication. It includes advice on identifying and taking first steps, more advanced options and activities, and opportunities to share and refine professional experiences. In this session we will explore how library and university presses, society publishers, and commercial publishers can get started.
