East View Information Services Preserves with the CLOCKSS Archive
(apologies for cross posting)

June 24, 2011

The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered
with East View Information Services to preserve their e-journals
and e-books in CLOCKSS's geographically and geopolitically
distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12
major research libraries around the world.

By archiving with CLOCKSS, East View Information Services has
committed to the preservation of their e-journals and e-Books.
This action provides for content to be freely available to
everyone after a "trigger event" and ensures an author's work
will be maximally accessible and useful over time.

"East View recognizes that as more institutions turn to online
content in addition to or in place of print, they are looking for
assurances of permanent access," said Kent D. Lee, founder and
CEO. "East View offers online solutions for most print
subscriptions, including complete digital retrospectives of
publications such as Pravda and Izvestiia. East View also offers
custom conversion services for libraries, allowing them to access
their own newspaper collections online via our Universal Database
platform. We recognize that librarians build collections today
but must ensure the future availability of today's intellectual,
cultural and historical content. East View's decision to partner
with CLOCKSS is natural, ensuring that libraries have a true
preservation solution and permanent access to digital
collections."

CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, "CLOCKSS
welcomes East View Information Services's e-journals and e-books
into the community's archive. East View represents a very diverse
set of content that includes Russian, Arabic, and Chinese
language materials. This will encourage other non-English
language publishers to seriously consider digitally preserving
their content with us. CLOCKSS has achieved a rare consensus
among libraries and publishers, and we are grateful as East View
Information Services joins the CLOCKSS Archive for its generous
willingness to preserve its e-journals and e-books in a way that
secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide."
