The LOCKSS Program, a unit of the Stanford University Libraries, has announced that journal titles from academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., UK, are now available for preservation in the Global LOCKSS Network.
Emerald has reportedly committed more than 270 e-journal titles for LOCKSS preservation. By implementing a library ownership model, the publisher enables libraries to fulfill a core library mission - to build and preserve digital library collections.
Libraries participating in the LOCKSS Program guarantee their long-term access to scholarly information, giving librarians and scholars confidence in the electronic environment. Using the LOCKSS technology to build and preserve local collections, libraries have perpetual access rights to scholarly content as needed, and publishers continue to receive all reader traffic to their web sites.
Founded in 1998, the LOCKSS Program is a unit of the Stanford University Libraries. Participating libraries are building and preserving general collections in the Global LOCKSS Network. The UK LOCKSS Alliance was launched in August 2008. It is a cooperative movement of UK academic libraries that are committed to identify, negotiate, and build local archives of material that librarians and academic scholars deem significant.
