The document outlines JISC's Continuing Access and Digital Preservation Strategy for 2002-5, emphasizing the necessity of preserving digital materials due to the significant investment in electronic content and the growth of digital resources in higher and further education in the UK. It discusses core funding challenges, the need for automation, and collaboration in addressing digital preservation issues, along with the objectives and key actions of the strategy, such as securing additional funding and developing a digital curation center. The conclusion highlights the importance of integrating digital preservation into the overall lifecycle of information management.

- 1. Supporting further and higher education Presentation to Jisc/CNI conference, July 2004, Brighton UK JISC Continuing Access and Digital Preservation Strategy 2002-5 Neil Beagrie
- 2. 2 Overview • Background – JISC and its communities – Previous work – Digital information growth and preservation • The Strategy • Objectives, aims, actions • Conclusions and further info
- 3. 3 JISC Context • a committee with ‘Top sliced’ funding from 6 UK HE/FE Funding Councils • UK-wide remit (England, Northern Ireland Scotland, Wales) • serves: – 190+ Higher education institutions – 500+ Further education institutions • Budget £65m baseline + c£20m pa • c 60 Staff – 1 Digital Preservation + 1 Elect. Records
- 4. 4 Digital Preservation Focus 2000 • establish best practice and guidelines and dissemination • generate support and collaborative funding from and promote inter-working with agencies worldwide • develop a long-term digital preservation strategy for digital materials of relevance to Higher and Further Education in the UK
- 5. 5 The Need for Digital Preservation • Institutional knowledge base and intellectual assets increasingly in digital form • Substantial investment by the sector in licensing electronic content, digitisation & creation of digital content • Need to tackle uncertainties over archiving which impede the growth and take-up of digital resources, e-science and new working practices • Secure long-term access to digital resources and gain lasting benefits of current investment in digitisation and digital content
- 6. 6 Predicted Growth of Serials Publications (after EPS) 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000 16,0002001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 All serials (print + e-) Dual form e-only serials
- 7. 7 Projected Growth of Scientic Data, and Data Curation • In next 5 years e-Science will produce more data than has been collected in the whole of human history • Analysis demonstrates need for long- term curation in many areas ranging from engineering design and clinical trials to environmental and astronomical data • Not solely an issue of volumes: issues of selection and retention, required documentation and tools
- 8. 8 Implications • Core Funding for institutions will not grow in line with information growth • Need for more automation and tools • Need for new shared services and information infrastructure • Significant need for R&D and investment now to prepare for this
- 9. 9 JISC Continuing Access and Digital Preservation Strategy 2002-5 Contents Executive summary The need for digital preservation Purpose and audience Key aims and objectives Implementation mechanisms Roles and responsibilities Standards and models for preservation Records management The information lifecycle Conclusions
- 10. 10 Objectives of Strategy • Advocacy document to secure additional funding of £6m over 3 years (2002-5) • Justify the accompanying implementation plan • Provide a longer-term framework and rationale for activity extending beyond 2005
- 11. 11 Key Implementation Actions • complete a series of scoping studies • supporting records management and digital preservation in institutions • develop a “preservation layer” for the Information Environment • Establish a Digital Curation Centre • Catalysing partnerships and work by others
- 12. 12 The Studies • JISC Records • web resources • e-science data • e-prints • e-journals • e-learning objects • information on file formats/software documentation • Assessment of LOCKSS system (ongoing) • Purpose: – intensively assess options and scale – move the Strategy forward – risk management - a phased approach

- 21. 21 Digital Curation Centre • Joint funding JISC and e-science core programme • Three year initial funding - £3m • 1/3 funding allocated for new research agenda • 2/3 funding allocated for development/services • Awarded to Consortium of Edinburgh, Glasgow, CCLRC, UKOLN • Further information: www.dcc.ac.uk
- 22. 22 Partnerships • Co-funding of the Digital Curation Centre with the UK e-Science Core Programme • JISC support for and participation in the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) – www.dpconline.org • JISC a founder member of the UK Web Archiving Consortium – www.webarchive.org.uk • JISC / BL partnership – preservation being an important area of cooperation and collaborative projects
- 23. 23 Conclusions • Information growth trends are global Issues are/will be common to all • Pressures on information providers will continue to intensify over time • Substantial progress by JISC to date • Shortfalls in existing information infrastructure • Greater automation, services, tools and collaboration • Future – digital preservation fully integrated into life-cycle of information management not a separate activity • Future – need to build on achievements and leverage further new investment
