To sum up
•We have many valuable,
relatively recent serials that are
fair game to digitize and share
–An opportunity largely
untapped to date (at least post-1922)
•We now have, or can
get, the information we need to determine
their status and share them digitally
•DLF and its member
institutions are particularly suited to
leading in this area
–Due to our
collections, the research we support, and our expertise coordination
•It would be useful,
and feasible, to coordinate our efforts
and our information gathering
–E.g. by contributing
to appropriate information registries
•We should begin
discussions on how best to move forward
