# The DOAJ/DMEP Openly Available eSerials Project

Junior Fellows Alex Reese and Emmeline Kaser worked with the Digital Content Management Section (DCM) on the Openly Available e-Serials Project. DCM was formed in 2018 to support the acquisition and management of the Library of Congress's rapidly growing digital general collections. This 2021 Junior Fellows project supported DCM's work with the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate to expand the Library's collection of e-serials through web archiving. In support of this effort, Reese worked to locate and gather information on freely available online issues of serials previously acquired in print through the Library's Duplicate Materials Exchange Program. Similarly, Kaser reviewed e-serials in the Directory of Open Access Journals to identify open access titles that the Library had previously acquired in print, focusing on smaller publishers that are less likely to submit titles through other acquisition methods. Reese and Kaser's combined efforts produced a selection of 250 freely available e-serial titles for potential acquisition via web archiving that represent the geographic and subject diversity of the Library's collections.
