Resources on the Net Survey Research Kenney, A., Entlich, R., Hirtle, B., McGovern, N., and Buckley, E. (2006, September). E-Journal archiving metes and bounds: A survey of the landscape. Retrieved September 30, 2008, from the Council on Library and Information Resources website: http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub138/pub138.pdf The authors present the findings of a large scale survey that they conducted on 12 e-journal archiving programs. The survey grew out of academic libraries’ increasing awareness of the problems in e-journal archiving, although “ many are unclear on the dimensions of the problem, the alternatives for action, and what role they might play.” Academic libraries must support the development of viable, collaborative e-journal archiving initiatives in order to better service their respective user communities. The report includes a number of recommendations for academic libraries, for publishers, and for ejournal archiving programs. Markey, K., Rieh, S., St. Jean, B., Jihyun, K., and Yakel, E. (2007, February). Census of institutional repositories in the United States: MIRACLE project research findings. Retrieved September 30, 2008, from the Council on Library and Information Resources website: http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub140/contents.html The authors report on the results of a nationwide census of institutional repositories in U.S. academic institutions. Institutional repositories developed out of the need to address the challenges posed by digital scholarship and its organization, accessibility, and preservation. Institutional repositories require considerable investment, and Resources on the Net – Current Issues in Digital Libraries Compiled by Chris Bober rather than work in isolation, the authors believe that “it would be helpful if academic institutions could learn from one another, sharing their experiences, building models, and formulating best practices.” Smith, K. (2008, Winter). Institutional repositories and e-journal archiving: What are we learning? Journal of Electronic Publishing. Retrieved September 30, 2008, from http://hdl.handle.net/2027/spo.3336451.0011.107 Smith provides a critical evaluation of the two above-mentioned surveys on e-journal archives and on institutional repositories. Both organizational models have their respective strengths and weaknesses. The surveys demonstrated that, regardless of the organizational model that is selected for digital archiving, they must have the active support and involvement of stakeholders if they are to evolve and succeed. Progress has been made but there are still challenges ahead “including those of refining missions, balancing stakeholder benefits, and building trust. Meeting these challenges is essential to the future of scholarly communication.” Selected National and International Initiatives Archive-It. (n.d.). Retrieved September 15, 2008, from http://www.archive-it.org/ Archive-It was launched in 1996 by the Internet Archive in order to assist institutions which were exploring ways of archiving their Internet content.
