Academic libraries increasingly rely on the services of archiving agencies to help provide assurance of continuing access. This conference brings together speakers from leading international service providers, national libraries and library consortia. Speakers will be asked to describe their initiative's recent activities and share views on what actions are needed - by themselves and by other stakeholders - that can assist with collaborative activity and result in improved services in the near and long term.

Marking the 40th anniversary of the ISSN International Centre and the 20th anniversary of EDINA, this event presents a networking and briefing opportunity in which librarians can learn about a wide range of international activities, experiences and perspectives on the archiving and preservation of serial content, and gain insight into how these initiatives are developing to aid library stewardship and collection development decisions.
