Current Scholarship Program/Portico Information Sessions
JSTOR and Portico 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. |
