SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has announced a partnership with the CLOCKSS Archive to preserve the content of the SPIE Digital Library, a collection of optics and photonics literature, in the CLOCKSS dark archive.
By archiving with CLOCKSS, SPIE has committed to the preservation of Proceedings of SPIE, SPIE Journals, and SPIE eBooks. This action provides for content to be freely available to everyone should a 'trigger event' occur that results in SPIE no longer providing access to the content and ensures an author's work will be maximally accessible and useful at any time in the future.
The CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) Archive is a not-for-profit joint venture between leading scholarly publishers and research libraries whose aim is to build a sustainable, geographically distributed dark archive with which to ensure the long-term survival of Web-based scholarly publications for the benefit of the greater global research community. This archive consists of a geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world.
