2. CLIR is collaborating with the Association for Research 
Libraries (ARL) to survey ten e-journal archiving initiatives. 
The study is intended to help libraries better understand the 
emerging strategies and options for ensuring long-term access to 
the born-digital scholarly literature and to help them determine 
the best course of action. The study is described in the article 
"Surveying the E-Journal Preservation Landscape," by Anne Kenney, 
who is a member of the survey research team. The article may be 
viewed online at http://www.clir.org/pubs/archives/ejournal.htm 
and is forthcoming in the ARL Bimonthly Report for April. 
Findings will be previewed at the ARL Membership Meeting in 
Ottawa, Ontario, in mid-May, and CLIR will publish the final 
report in August.
