Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced the expansion of its digital preservation services to twenty more academic libraries in the UK. This brings the total number of UK participating institutions to fifty-seven.
JISC has been providing consultation and guiding adoption of digital preservation solutions by its members. Among the additional JISC libraries that initiated participation this year are University of Leeds, University of Cambridge and University of Manchester.
Over the past 18 months, JISC and Portico have collaborated on a series of webinars and workshops about digital preservation for the UK library community. Similarly, JISC Collections was active in negotiating and installing a master agreement between Portico and JISC member libraries.
