*****Apologies for cross-posting****
Digital Repository Audit Method Based on Risk Assessment* (*DRAMBORA*)
*toolkit released and supporting tutorials announced
The DRAMBORA Toolkit
The Digital Curation Centre* (*DCC*) *and DigitalPreservationEurope*
(*DPE*) *are delighted to announce the release of the Digital Repository
Audit Method Based on Risk Assessment* (*DRAMBORA*) *toolkit and
supporting tutorials.* *This toolkit facilitates internal audit by
providing repository administrators with a means to assess their
capabilities,* *identify their weaknesses,* *and recognise their
strengths.* *It complements other emerging work on attributes and
criteria for Trustworthy Digital Repositories.* *DRAMBORA can be
utilised by a broad range of digital repositories,* *including the
majority of current instances whose mandates do not yet include
responsibility for long-term digital preservation.*
The development of this toolkit follows a concentrated period of
repository pilot audits undertaken by the DCC,* *conducted at a diverse
range of organisations including national libraries,* *scientific data
centres and cultural and heritage data archives.* *We recognise that
digital repositories are still in their infancy and,* *accordingly,*
*this model will respond to meet the changing needs caused by the rapidly
developing landscape.* *
This self-assessment toolkit was developed collaboratively by the DCC*
(*funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee and the Core
eScience Programme run by EPSRC on behalf of all the Research Councils in
the* *UK*) *and DPE* (*co-funded by the European Commission*)*.* *These
two initiatives will continue to work together to test and refine the
toolkit,* *to manage the online tool,* *which is available at*
*http://www.repositoryaudit.eu,* *and to foster its widest possible
take-up within the* *United Kingdom,* *Europe and broader international
contexts.*
Chris Rusbridge,* *Director of the DCC,* *said* '*Digital Curation
embraces the whole life cycle of scientific data,* *and uses databases
and repositories with widely different scales and mandates.* *This
approach could have benefits across the whole spectrum.* *I welcome this
toolkit,* *emerging from a combination of theoretical and practical
underpinning,* *involving collaborations between different parts of the
DCC and many international bodies and individuals,* *which has such
strong potential for improving the management of scientific data.*'
Seamus Ross,* *in his capacity as Director of
DigitalPreservationEurope,* *noted that,* '*Digital repositories provide
a fundamental mechanism for contemporary society to communicate our
cultural and scientific heritage with the future.* *If they are to do
this well then they must closely monitor what they do and how they do
it.* *This toolkit is designed to help them to meet these needs.*'
While formal certification is still some time away,* *the DCC and DPE are
confident that there are many benefits to be gained by undertaking the
process of self-auditing.* *To support the take-up of the DRAMBORA
self-assessment toolkit in the* *UK,* *Europe,* *and beyond the DCC in
cooperation with DPE are pleased to announce three tutorials to
introduce the DRAMBORA toolkit.*
Supporting Tutorials*:
DCC Tutorial:* *Building Trust in Digital Repositories* *-* *Using the

*These practical tutorials open with a contextual overview of the need
for an evidence-based audit of digital repositories and describe the
results of the DCC pilot audits to date as well as lessons.* *The
tutorials will then move on to demonstrate how institutions can make use
of the DRAMBORA toolkit to design,* *develop,* *evaluate,* *and/or refine
new or existing trusted digital repository systems and
workflows.* *This will involve a walkthrough of the audit process with
practical examples based on the pilot audits.*
Participants will be encouraged to draw upon and share their own
experiences during this discussion.* *Participants will receive a hard
copy of the DRAMBORA toolkit and related documentation to take away with
them so they can begin to assess their own repositories and workflows or
start developing a repository system.*
*Benefits of Participation*:
*This course will enable the attendee to
** Comprehend the concepts of trust with regards to digital repositories*
** Recognize the need for evidence-based evaluation for building trust in
digital repositories*
** Understand how the DRAMBORA toolkit can be used to help design and
develop systems and workflows that can help build trusted digital
repositories*
** Obtain skills needed to undertake a thorough assessment of digital
repositories using the DRAMBORA toolkit*
** Appreciate the range of staff and skill-sets required to implement and
sustain a trusted digital repository*
** Contribute to the refining of the audit toolkit*
*Intended Audience:*
*This tutorial will be of interest to anyone involved in funding,*

Subject: JISC briefing paper on Archiving and Preservation of E-journals
Insert:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/publications/pub_ejournalspreservationbp.
Dear All,
A JISC briefing paper on Archiving and Preservation of E-journals has
become available. The briefing paper explains the main issues related to
the preservation responsibility of e-journals and the differences between
Perpetual access, archiving and long-term preservation. It also looks at
the role of legal deposit and institutional and open access repositories.
The briefing paper in addition examines a number of currently available
e-journal archiving options, including LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico and PubMed
Central.
Parallel to the briefing paper, JISC recently commissioned a piece of
consultancy to review and analyse the CLIR e-journal Archiving Survey
(published in September 2006) so that we fully understand the findings of
the survey and its impact for the UK education sector. The objectives of
this work are as follows:
- Reviews and analyses the CLIR survey
- Relates these findings to the needs of the UK education sector
- Pays particular attention to NESLI2 and the JISC/CURL LOCKSS Pilot
programme
- Includes a set of high-level principles for e-journal archiving services
designed to assist in assessing third party services
- Includes a set of high-level principles for a national approach to
e-journal archiving
- Revisits the recommendations of the 2003 JISC e-Journal Archiving
consultancy reports and relates these to the current e-journals archiving
landscape.
The full report is available from JISC website:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_preservation/ejournalarc
hiving.
Please also note that the high-level principles mentioned above will be
presented as a discussion paper and discussed at an e-Journal Archiving
and Preservation workshop on 27 March 2007, jointly organised by JISC, the
British Library and the Digital Preservation Coalition. These principles
are attached for your reference.
If you haven't registered for the workshop, please go to

3. Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification Checklist is Published

Subject: Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification Checklist is
Published
Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification Checklist is Published
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 8 March, 2007-The Center for Research Libraries and RLG
Programs (a unit of the OCLC Programs and Research division)
announce the publication of Trustworthy Repositories Audit &
Certification: Criteria and Checklist.
In 2003, RLG and the US National Archives and Records Administration
created a joint task force to address digital repository certification.
The goal of the RLG-NARA Task Force on Digital Repository Certification
was to develop criteria to identify digital repositories capable of
reliably storing, migrating, and providing access to digital
collections. With partial funding from the NARA Electronic Records
Archives Program, the international task force produced a set of
certification criteria applicable to a range of digital repositories and
archives, from academic institutional preservation repositories to large
data archives and from national libraries to third-party digital
archiving services. Ken Thibodeau, Director of the ERA Program, points
out, "We need to foster a context where people can trust information from
a digital repository as readily as they trust twenty dollar bills from an
ATM, without looking inside the shell. The Checklist provides milestones
repositories can use to earn this trust."
In 2005, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded funding to the Center for
Research Libraries to further establish the documentation
requirements, delineate a process for certification, and establish
appropriate methodologies for determining the soundness and
sustainability of digital repositories. Under this effort, Robin Dale
(RLG Programs) and Bernard F. Reilly (President, Center for Research
Libraries) created an audit methodology based largely on the checklist,
tested it on several major digital repositories, including the E-Depot at
the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in the Netherlands, the Inter-University
Consortium for Political and Social Research, and Portico.
Findings and methodologies were shared with those of related working
groups in Europe who applied the draft checklist in their own domains: the
Digital Curation Center (U.K.), DigitalPreservationEurope
(Continental Europe) and NESTOR (Germany). The report incorporates the
sum of knowledge and experience, new ideas, techniques, and tools that
resulted from cross-fertilization between the U.S. and European efforts.
It also includes a discussion of audit and certification criteria and how
they can be considered from an organizational perspective.
With the publication of this report, all related digital repository audit
and certification work is moving to CRL. According to Bernard Reilly, "At
a time when universities and research libraries are being called upon to
bear the substantial costs of preserving digital data and electronic
content, the TRAC checklist will help make possible the kind of due
diligence that the community exercises in their other investments of
comparable scale.
This conviction is shared by James Michalko, Vice President, RLG
Programs "This is a critical time for research institutions tasked with
providing long-term access to digital information. TRAC will help
institutions objectively evaluate responsibilities against capabilities
and identify potential risks to digital content held in repositories,
archives, and by content providers. It provides the community with a tool
to facilitate assessment and understanding, and will enable vital
collaboration among repositories."
The 93-page report is available in pdf from the Center for Research
Libraries <http://bibpurl.oclc.org/web/16712>.

This has the potential to change the way things are done in

8. NISO Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU) Releases Draft Recommended
Practices: comments welco me

From: "Cynthia Hodgson" chodgson at niso.org
Date: 03/16/07 05:48pm
Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: NISO Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU)Releases
Draft Recommended Practi ces
NISO's Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU) Working Group has posted its
first public draft best practices document on its website. This document,
"The SERU Approach to E-Resource Subscriptions: Framework for Development
and Use of SERU," presents a shared set of understandings to which
publishers and libraries can point when negotiating the sale of electronic
content. The framework offers publishers and libraries a solution to the
often-burdensome process of bilateral negotiation of a formal license
agreement by allowing the sale of e-resources without licenses if both
parties feel their perception of risk has been adequately addressed by
current law and developing norms of behavior.
The SERU Working Group welcomes comments on its draft document (available
from: http://www.niso.org/committees/SERU/#working). Please direct
comments and suggestions to Judy Luther
(judy.luther at informedstrategies.com) or Karla Hahn (karla at arl.org), the
working group co-chairs, or any other member of the working group. The
SERU project also maintains an informational listserv where comments can
be shared along with announcements of future developments with the
project. Information on joining the list is available on the project's
website (http://www.niso.org/committees/SERU/).
Following the initial comment period, a revised draft version will be made
available in late May for trial use during 2007. During this pilot phase,
publishers wishing to sell their products using a SERU approach will be
able to join a NISO registry to indicate their willingness to forego a
license agreement and rely on the shared expectations expressed in the
Common Understanding statement. Publishers can also indicate to serials
vendors and to customers their desire to do business in this way. The
registry is under development; however, publishers and libraries that are
interested in using this approach during the review period are encouraged
to contact one of the working group chairs now.
SERU was launched in late 2006 in partnership with the Association of
Research Libraries (ARL), the Association of Learned and Professional
Society Publishers (ALPSP), the Scholarly Publishing and Academic
Resources Coalition (SPARC), and the Society for Scholarly Publishing
(SSP). More information about the SERU Working Group, including FAQs and
an electronic mailing list, can be found at

From: "Sally Morris" info at publishingresearch.net
Date: 03/19/07 01:40pm
Subject: Summary paper from the Publishing Research Consortium
To help the scholarly community better understand and evaluate how open
archiving might impact journal subscriptions, the Publishing Research
Consortium has released the summary paper 'Self-Archiving and Journal
Subscriptions: Co-existence or Competition?'.
This paper is a condensed version of the earlier analysis released in
November 2006. It looks at librarian purchasing preferences, and
concludes that mandating self-archiving within six months or less of
publication will undermine the subscription-based peer review journal.
The summary paper, together with the original report, is freely available
