Structured Abstract:Purpose -Open access (OA) electronic journals have been identified as potentially at risk of loss without more coordinated preservation efforts. The purpose of this paper is to test the current availability of OA electronic journals indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).Design/methodology/approach -Using publicly available journal metadata downloaded from DOAJ, individual journal URLs were tested for validity and accessibility using a Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications macro.Findings -Initial results showed 69.51% of the URLs tested returned a successful HTTP status code. The remainder of the URLs returned codes that indicated redirection or errors.Originality/Value -Unlike past studies of link decay, this is not limited to cited references or a specific discipline. This study utilizes the full DOAJ metadata to analyze the persistence of OA electronic journals.

Długoterminowe zabezpieczanie dostępu do elektronicznych zasobów subskrybowanych przez biblioteki staje się coraz popularniejsze za granicą. W artykule opisano dwa amerykańskie projekty archiwizacji bibliotecznych zasobów elektronicznych: Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) i Portico. Dokonano analizy porównawczej obu systemów. Zaprezentowano i omówiono wyniki badania dotyczącego ich wykorzystania, przeprowadzonego w wybranych europejskich bibliotekach uniwersyteckich oraz wyniki symulacji użyteczności obu systemów w polskim środowisku naukowym.
