Portico and JSTOR Forums

11.30.-1

Portico and JSTOR would like to invite you to one of several special breakfast sessions in August. During these sessions we will host a discussion on the Current Scholarship Program and outline an expansion of the Portico preservation services. A full agenda is available below.

8:30 – 9:00 am Welcome & Breakfast
9:00 – 10:00 am

Current Scholarship Program

We will provide an overview of this initiative to bring current scholarship to JSTOR, discuss the value for libraries, and provide details about how you can participate.

10:00 – 11:00 am The Expansion of Portico’s Preservation Services

We will discuss the substantial growth of the Portico archive, and Portico’s expanded offering of disaggregated e-journal and e-book services. Portico’s preservation work with these two genres continues to help libraries protect their investment in e-content, and helps keep pace with the community’s evolving preservation needs.
