Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's E-Journal Archiving Program
http://www.diglib.org/preserve/ejp.htm
Information is now available on the web page of the Digital Library
Federation of an E-Journal Archiving Program, funded by the Mellon
Foundation, examining a variety of strategies for ensuring the
preservation of electronic journals. The web page details the
project, links to some key papers presented at an organizational
meeting and to five projects that have received Mellon funding.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's e-Journal archiving program
Increasingly scholarly journals are published electronically. What
will it take to keep them accessible electronically in perpetuity?
Can the property rights of publishers, the access responsibilities of
libraries, and the reliability assurances that scholars need be
reconciled in agreements to create archives of electronic journals?
In early 2000 the DLF along with CLIR and CNI began to address these
questions with a view to facilitating some practical experimentation
in digital archiving. In a series of three meetings one each for
librarians, publishers, and licensing specialists, respectively, the
groups managed to reach consensus on the minimum requirements for
e-journal archival repositories.
Building on that consensus, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation solicited
proposals from selected research libraries to participate in a
process designed to plan the development of e-journal repositories
meeting those requirements. Seven major libraries have now received
grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation including the New York
Public Library and the university libraries of Cornell, Harvard, MIT,
Pennsylvania, Stanford, and Yale.
Yale, Harvard, and Pennsylvania will work with individual publishers
on archiving the range of their electronic journals. Cornell and the
New York Public Library will work on archiving journals in specific
disciplines. MIT's project involves archiving "dynamic" e-journals
that change frequently, and Stanford's involves the development of
specific archiving software tools.
These pages open out onto those projects and record their collective
progress to date.
Papers presented to an initial meeting of the program participants, 6
February 2001
The meeting was convened by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at the
New York Public Library. The Foundation will convene a further final
meeting toward the end of this one-year planning process. At the
request of project participants, CLIR and the DLF will host
additional meetings and workshops to facilitate joint exploration of
common themes and challenges.
