We are pleased to make available a preview of the next major service release of the Keepers Registry at http://preview.thekeepers.org

The current service (http://thekeepers.org) will continue as the primary service during May but we would encourage you to try out the preview version.  The preview will be released into service in June 2015. In the meantime, we are grateful for feedback on the preview version to edina@ed.ac.uk.

New Features

Our new Member Services area provides access to our added-value features.  Once you’re registered for our new Member Services area you will find:

• Our Title List Comparison service, enabling a user to discover the archival status for a list of serials:  identifying those that are being preserved and those that are “at risk”.
• The first version of our SRU and Z39.50machine-to-machine interfaces.  This will be of value to other service providers who may wish to report Keepers Registry information in their interface.
• Persistent URLsto support bookmarking and sharing of specific records.

We anticipate that the Title List Comparison service will be of great assistance to library staff, as it allows you to upload a list of titles identified by ISSN and receive a report containing the data uploaded plus information on “who is preserving what” and what is not being preserved.

Access to our Member Services is free. To learn more about the our features and try out a Title List Comparison of your own, please register now.
