title: KEEPERS Registry - A Two-Way Street for E-Journal Preservation: Querying from and reporting to the ISSN KEEPERS Registry to improve e-journal preservation
creators: Merle Friedrich Micky Lindlar Peter Eisner
abstract: This paper gives a short overview of Keepers registry and describes two use cases for interacting with the registry: (1) using it to query data and crosscheck it against institutional holdings to prioritize holdings for in-house digital preservation (2) reporting archival holdings back to Keepers Registry to make institutional preservation activities transparent. Though Keepers registry has been available since 2013, few use case descriptions of how to interact with the registry exist. The paper describes the use cases in the context of TIB’s digital preservation processes and outlines solutions found and challenges encountered. It concludes with an outlook to further work for TIB’s workflows as well as for an e-journal preservation registry in general.
