2. About the project
Investigation of UNC-Chapel Hill e-resources as graduate student at SILS
What is perpetual access? What are archival provisions?
Inspired by Glasser (2014), “Providing Perpetual Access” & Regan (2015),
“Strategies for Expanding e-Journal Preservation”
What percentage of e-resources have perpetual access? What form of
perpetual access?
Third-party archiving services

3. Methods
Identified goals and queries
Compiled data (from ERM, knowledgebase, license
agreements)
Ran title list comparison at the Keepers Registry
Imported data and ran queries in Access

4. Example from the Keepers Registry

8. Results & discussion
15% - Licensed journal titles not archived by third-party
services at all
9% - Licensed journal titles with perpetual access on hard
drives/other media
26% - Journals we thought were archived by third-party
providers but are not
