Dear HIFA Members,
As published in Nature [ https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02610-z ], hundreds of journals have disappeared and hundreds more are at risk of disappearing, making research published in those journals inaccessible forever. What can be done about this problem? To learn more, please join us for a Free WAME Webinar on Archiving, Preservation, and Long-Term Access for Digital Journals, featuring Alicia Wise, Executive Director, CLOCKSS Archive [ https://clockss.org/ ]; Mariya Maistrovskaya, Senior Publishing Support Specialist, PublicKnowledge Project (PKP) [ https://pkp.sfu.ca/ ]; and Snowden Becker, Community Manager, LOCKSS Program [ https://www.lockss.org/ ], Stanford University, to find out. Submit any questions you have when you register.

• The costs of journal preservation -- and the consequences of failure to preserve for researchers, publishers, funders, universities, rights holders, and readers
• How preservation networks including PKP PN, CLOCKSS, and the Global LOCKSS Network each work in different ways to preserve and provide access to digital journals
• Preserving OJS journals via PKP PN, CLOCKSS, the Global LOCKSS Network, and other services: What are the steps involved
• Trigger events: what they are, what happens when journal content is triggered, and how readers can find archived journal contents
• How authors, researchers, editors, publishers, librarians, and others can be powerful advocates for journal preservation
