Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced that Cambridge University Press will preserve its Cambridge Books Online content with Portico. Through this agreement, Cambridge extends its relationship with Portico, which began in 2006 with the publisher's commitment to deposit its entire list of e-journals in the Portico archive.
Cambridge University Press is the publishing arm of the University of Cambridge and claims to be one of the largest academic publishers in the world. As part of the agreement, Cambridge University Press will make an annual contribution to Portico to support its E-Book Preservation Service.
The addition of titles from Cambridge Books Online brings the total number of e-books committed to the Portico archive to more than 123,000. Beginning in 2011, Portico expanded its preservation services offered to libraries with the introduction of separate e-book and e-journal services. These distinct services enable libraries to choose where to invest their preservation resources based on their collections, needs and budgets.
