Announcing New Libraries in CLOCKSS

The CLOCKSS Community-Governed Archive Grows Fast

The CLOCKSS community of libraries has grown rapidly in the first 
half of 2010, with 21 new libraries supporting the archive 
already this year. The libraries to join in the past six months 
include Oxford University, University of Utah, Vassar College, 
University of British Columbia, and the European University 
Institute, as well as members of the COPPUL consortium in Canada 
and the VIVA consortium in Virginia.

Since it was incorporated in October 2009, CLOCKSS has expanded 
its community to 60 libraries worldwide, with eleven archive 
nodes at major libraries in North America, Europe, and Asia.

CLOCKSS is a dark archive governed by the community of 
participating libraries and publishers. All supporting libraries 
have a seat on the CLOCKSS Advisory Council and help steer the 
archive's strategy and policies. In the words of Vic Elliott, 
University Librarian at the Australian National University and 
one of the CLOCKSS Founding Librarians: "Together we decide our 
own future - it is not decided for us."
