Piloting an E-journals Preservation Registry Service: overview of PEPRS
1. Finding out about the preservation of e-journals: an overview of the PEPRS project Fred Guy, EDINA, University of Edinburgh UKSG Conference 2011, 4 th â 6 th April 2011, Harrogate, Yorkshire
19. Creating the PEPRS database Agency data ISSN Register ISSNs PEPRS ISSN-L + p-ISSN & e-ISSN Register metadata Agency metadata
20. Open Source components used in PEPRS Abstract Perl API supporting search and retrieval. Based on YAZ toolkit. ZOOM http://zoom.z3950.org/api/ Z39.50 support in Perl Each preservation agency supplies custom data at the moment, so scripts will be created for each data source. ISSN data is in MARC21 format and will be processed using MARC::Record CPAN package Custom Perl and CPAN packages including MARC::Record http://search.cpan.org/~gmcharlt/MARC-Record-2.0.2/ Normalisation Data files will be collected using FTP and HTTP. Custom Perl and CPAN packages Harvester Provides structured text indexing and retrieval. Fast and scales well. Provides powerful and flexible text retrieval capabilities. Zebra http:// www.indexdata.dk /zebra/ Database: metadata hosted by PEPRS Offers fast and easy development and is extremely flexible Apache::ASP http://www.apache-asp.org / User interface Comment Software choice Component

Going to talk about a metadata project which provides a key role in informing librarians and collection managers about the situations regarding the long term situation about e-journals
This is the old scenario where users were faced with row upon row of printed journals.
Now users are inclined to access this information via computers although not quite like these ones!
All the statistics point to increased e-journal publication, expenditure and usage. RIN has done a lot of work to quantify the situation. Chart one shows availability by discipline and clearly it is no great surprise to learn that the sciences have a very high %. The second chart shows that the bigger publishers have moved into online in a bigger way than the smaller publishers but it is increasing no matter the size. The third chart shows the increase in usage. There was a 23% increase in downloading between 2005/6 â 2006/07 and a 19% increase 2006-7. The increase is greater for the Scottish Higher Education Digital Libraries (SHEDL). 19.58% 2007-8 and 41.2% 2009-9.
Print aspects. Essentially under library control.
Essential aspect is that it is not under the control of the library as is the case with print.
Schemes have emerged to provide solutions for libraries but there is a key issue in trying to obtain a coherent overall view.
There is a lot of background literature but the key report is that prepared by Rigtscm and Loughborough University. Essentially PEPRS has evolved from the findings in the report.
How do we find what is in the vaults but more critically how can we avoid having to look into each vault separately?
This is a snow drop showing that PEPRS essentially is an aggregation of metadata from a number of suppliers or as they are called in the PEPRS context archiving agencies.
The key components. Essentially PEPRS is based upon metadata from the different participating agencies associated with authoritative metadata from the ISSN Register.
These are the open source components used in PEPRS.
