EDINA newsline
March 2011: Volume 16 Issue 1
The UK LOCKSS Alliance website is being relaunched in March 2011.
Our goal has been to increase the accessibility of current news and existing resources. We will be making all our bi-annual briefing papers available, which will provide readers with an in-depth review of recent developments.
We also hope to make it easier to discover how the UK LOCKSS Alliance can help your institution.
In other news, the UK LOCKSS Alliance joined the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) as an Associate Member in December 2010. The UK LOCKSS Alliance’s focus on ensuring preservation and continuing access to electronic journals makes it a natural fit within the DPC membership.
Finally, EDINA led a parallel session in November 2010 at the RLUK Conference 2010 in Edinburgh entitled “Community action to ensure and afford continuity of access to scholarly content”, which brought together representatives from the UK LOCKSS Alliance, CLOCKSS and the UK Research Reserve (UKRR). The intention was to consider these initiatives as related activities of interest to UK libraries, engaging with libraries to encourage coherence, join-up and a strategy for their ongoing development.
