Sending Bytes to the Bindery: Digital Preservation and Post-Cancellation Access

DESCRIPTION

The advent of digital publishing platforms revolutionized scholarly communication in the 1990s, and profoundly changed how researchers and libraries interact with journals. Digital journals offered exciting improvements like the capacity to publish dynamic content, link to rich media like data sets and high-resolution figures, and save on printing, postage, and physical shelf space. They also fundamentally altered the business model for scholarly publishers, and challenged the concept of ownership for library collections. In this webinar, LOCKSS Community Manager Snowden Becker will review the past, present, and future of post-cancellation access in the era of digital publishing, highlighting the essential (and complex!) role of preservation in evolving knowledge production.

SPEAKER BIO

Snowden Becker joined the LOCKSS team as Community Manager in 2023, having learned that “lots of copies keep stuff safe” over twenty years before that in the MLIS program at UCLA. She works with the global community of LOCKSS preservation networks and software users to help make digital preservation more reliable, accessible, and cost-effective for all.
