Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced a preservation agreement with Casalini Libri, the Fiesole-based aggregator and distributor of Italian, French, and Spanish books and periodicals to academic institutions and national, university and public libraries throughout the world.
Casalini Libri's initial commitment will be to deposit in the archive the 115 e-journals published by Fabrizio Serra Editore, an authoritative international academic and scholarly press with broad coverage in the social sciences and humanities. Through this agreement with Portico, Casalini Libri seeks to ensure that these e-journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. As part of the agreement, Casalini Libri will make an annual contribution to Portico and has also named Portico as a mechanism to provide post-cancellation access to the titles committed to the archive.
With the inclusion of these e-journals, over 11,000 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 98 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. Further, nearly 15 million articles are currently preserved in Portico.
