"A Model for Integrating the Publication and Preservation of Journal Articles"
Kevin S. Hawkins

There are policy, technical, and workflow gaps in library efforts to preserve online journal literature. Since libraries are increasingly involved in journal publishing, HathiTrust, a shared preservation-quality digital repository, is a natural place to archive and provide access to journal literature to ensure its long-term preservation and discoverability. The University of Michigan Library is funding the creation of mPach, an open-source, end-to-end publishing system in which archiving in HathiTrust happens as a byproduct of publication rather than being carried out after the fact. The architecture of mPach, its envisioned workflow, and plans for creating a shared infrastructure for publishing open-access journals will be summarized.
