Taking Ownership of Electronic Journals and Books

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Spring 2012 Project Briefings / Taking Ownership of Electronic Journals and Books

March 30, 2012

Alan Darnell
Director, Scholars Portal
University of Toronto

While many libraries are moving to subscription or leasing models for electronic journals and books, the 21 libraries of the Ontario Council of University Libraries have collaborated to build shared facilities and services for housing and managing large collections of licensed content. The Books and Journals service of Scholars Portal contain over 25M digital articles and close to 400,000 electronic books, including digitized print books and born digital commercial ebooks. This session will describe the rationale behind this commitment to physical ownership of digital content and the maturing of the service from providing simple aggregation to supporting long-term digital preservation.
