RE: Elsevier and Portico Sign Archive Partnership

["Rais, Shirley \(LLU\)" <srais@llu.edu>]

I'd like to Elsevier support LOCKSS.  I just checked the list of publisher 
partners and I don't see Elsevier listed.  Any comments Tony?

Dear Steve,

Thanks for your good wishes.

The financial details are confidential, for reasons I'm sure you will 
understand.

The agreement with Portico is in parallel to our agreement with the Royal 
Dutch Library.  It has been an important part of our archiving strategy to 
maximise relience and part of this is achieved by having parallel 
strategies in place.  We also, of course, have very thorough internal 
archiving and back-up procedures in place.

Tony
