Emerald Partners with the LOCKSS Program

[Victoria Reich <vreich@stanford.edu>]

The LOCKSS Program is pleased to announce that Emerald journal 
titles are now available for preservation in the Global LOCKSS 
Network.

Emerald has committed for LOCKSS preservation more than 270 
e-journal titles.  By implementing a library ownership model, 
Emerald enables libraries to fulfill a core library mission - to 
build and preserve digital library collections.

Libraries participating in the LOCKSS Program guarantee their 
long-term access to scholarly information, giving librarians and 
scholars confidence in the electronic environment. Using the 
award winning LOCKSS technology to build and preserve local 
collections, libraries have perpetual access rights to scholarly 
content as needed, and publishers continue to receive all reader 
traffic to their web sites.

Rebecca Marsh, Publishing Director at Emerald comments, "We are 
pleased to announce that the EmeraldInsight platform is LOCKSS 
compliant, allowing libraries to preserve content and maintain 
access to their subscribed and purchased content to support the 
long term needs of the scholarly community."

"Library collections are a keystone for perpetual access and long 
term preservation. We are delighted to be working with Emerald to 
support libraries and their institutions," says Victoria Reich, 
Director LOCKSS Program.

** About the LOCKSS Program **

Founded in 1998, the LOCKSS Program is a unit of the Stanford 
University Libraries. Participating libraries are building and 
preserving general collections in the Global LOCKSS Network. 
Approximately 450 subscription and open access publishers have 
committed their content for LOCKSS preservation. See

Launched in August 2008, the UK LOCKSS Alliance is a cooperative 
movement of UK academic libraries that are committed to identify, 
negotiate, and build local archives of material that librarians 
and academic scholars deem significant. By ensuring that the 
library is involved in rights negotiation, collection decisions, 
and ownership of infrastructure it reinforces the role of the 
library as custodian of scholarly content. See
