Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced an agreement with the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, Inc. (SPIE). Under the deal, Portico will preserve SPIE’s current collection of 93 e-books as well as those to be published in the future.
Through this agreement with Portico, SPIE furthers its preservation strategy, which already includes participation in Portico since 2007 on behalf of its entire e-journals collection. Also, it seeks to ensure that its e-books will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. As part of the agreement, SPIE will make an additional financial contribution to Portico to support its preservation activities. The Society has also named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims.
With this latest inclusion, 34,000 e-books and over 10,700 e-journals from 91 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.
