Safeguard Plan for E-resources : Specifying Licensing Terms for Perpetual Accessand Exploring Means of Data Preservation

Abstract

The presentation discussed the current and potential issues we faced with electronic resources, especially Chinese e-resources like ebooks from Apabi, which filed bankruptcy (and we've bought a lot of books there!), and databases from CNKI, which are suspended until further notice due to government audits. Brings up a lot of questions on how to handle these situations from perpetual access rights in licensing terms to safeguard plans for preservation and activating perpetual access.
