[Eril-l] CLOCKSS Announces the Support of Additional Publishers and Libraries

[Kim Smilay]

December 19, 2016 - CLOCKSS today announced that twelve additional
publishers are working with the archive to preserve their publications for
future generations of researchers.

CLOCKSS, the decentralized preservation archive that ensures that the
digital assets of the community will survive intact, simultaneously
announced the support of two additional libraries.

"We are very happy to be included in the CLOCKSS archiving repository," said
Lenny Teytelman Co-Founder of protocols.io. " As Vint Cerf has been arguing
<http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31450389> , there is a high
danger of loss of information, as society increasingly moves to digital
records and publishing. This problem is particularly acute in research
publishing where persistence is critical for trust in and reproducibility of
research. Of course, the solution is not to regress and archive everything
on paper. The solution is to come up with ways of ensuring the long-term
preservation of research information. This is why it is very important to
our company and to the scientists sharing on protocols.io, that their
knowledge is backed up and preserved long into the future."

Katherine Swart, Collection Development Librarian, Calvin College said, "We
were looking to diversify our preservation approaches and CLOCKSS appealed
to us because it is a sustainable nonprofit venture. Participating in
CLOCKSS allows us to support the larger research community in preserving
knowledge."
