Ensuring the Future of the Digital Scholarly Record
Working Together to Ensure the Future of the Digital Scholarly Record is a statement that outlines the actions now required to tackle the evolving challenges of preserving and ensuring the long term accessibility of digital scholarship.
Addressing publishers, research libraries and national libraries, the statement sets out a series of recommended activities that they can undertake to support archiving and preservation initiatives. Published in four languages, it represents the consensus of preservation specialists, archivists, librarians and technologists, who participated in an invited workshop held as part of the Keepers Extra project in Paris on the 6th and 7th of June 2016.
