The system of legal deposit has preserved print books for centuries, but how can publishers and authors make sure that the digital content they produce now can be accessed by future generations? Alicia Wise of the CLOCKSS project joins the podcast to talk about the scale of the issue and what publishers can do to establish good preservation strategies. There is more about CLOCKSS at www.clockss.org and the information guide Alicia mentions in the podcast is here.
Researchers are passionate about contributing to the ever-expanding network of knowledge. So, how can scholars ensure that their work is available for future generations to access and build on? CLOCKSS is a digital archive for publishers and research libraries. Executive Director, Dr Alicia Wise, suggests that the work of the preservation community is in perpetual motion, and that collaboration between authors, libraries, publishers, and archival services is imperative for passing the knowledge baton to future learners.

Today's episode features Audio from a Lively Discussion at the 2020 Charleston Library Conference, "Research Librarians and Society Publishers Working Together to Advance OA and Research." Speakers are Judith Russell, Dean of University Libraries, University of Florida; Rod Cookson, Managing Director, IWA Publishing; Alicia Wise, Director, Information Power; and Gaynor Redvers-Mutton, Head of Business Development and Sales, Microbiology Society and facilitated by Adam Chesler, Director, Global Sales, AIP Publishing. Large publishers are like fish swimming in the sunlight zone of the ocean: they are very visible to librarians and other stakeholders in scholarly communication. Smaller independent publishers of all kinds also exist and these are like fish swimming in the twilight zone of the ocean: also beautiful, strong, and varied but less visible and less food filters down to them. In these deeper waters there are many potential OA shoalmates swimming about. Publishers with very similar missions and serving the same researchers as librarians do. A very basic challenge exists, and this is simply to meet and work together directly. In the subscription world these relationships are typically mediated by sales or subscription agents of various kinds, but exploring OA agreements require more direct conversations about publishing as well as access. This session will explore what has been learned about building these new relationships and how to make them successful. It will be a first event to share the outcomes of the pilot projects between libraries/consortia and society publishers flowing from the Society Publishers Accelerating Open access and Plan S (SPA OPS) project.

“For research libraries, there is a strong need to champion the importance of digital preservation,” says Alicia Wise, recently appointed Executive Director of CLOCKSS.
