On October 2, 2007, from 10:00 am – 11:00 am, Portico will present a webcast exclusively for NYSHEI members.

As researchers, faculty and students become more dependent upon the convenience and enhanced accessibility of electronic scholarly journals, there has been wide-spread concern about the long-term preservation and future accessibility of this valuable educational resource.

The Portico archiving service offers a permanent archive of electronic scholarly journals, thereby providing protection against the potential loss of access to e-literature integral to a library’s collection. Portico also provides a reliable means to secure perpetual access, if participating publishers choose to designate Portico as a provider of post-cancellation access.

Please join Portico for a review of their archiving service along with an update on the Archive’s progress in 2007.

To participate in this event, please send an email to participation@portico.org.

Serial Solutions is looking to add the ScienceDirect titles of Pi2 members to their monthly unique titles list (UTL) updates.

Therefore, if your institution is a Pi2 member please contact Serial Solutions and let them know you are in Pi2. By making Serial Solutions aware of your Pi2 membership the UTL holding will be automatically updated – meaning you will no longer need to do this locally.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will do my best to provide assistance.
