Portico to preserve Clarivate's Ebook Central
Portico has signed an agreement with Clarivate to preserve books available to academic libraries through Ebook Central. This agreement ensures the long-term preservation of this expansive collection. Portico will also receive new books added to Ebook Central in the future.
"Academic libraries need assurance that there is a reliable preservation solution in place for ebooks across all the various platforms they use, whether they are purchasing or licensing those books," said Kate Wittenberg, Portico Managing Director. "We welcome the opportunity to expand our preservation work to include Ebook Central in order to support the needs of the library community."
Portico began preserving ebooks in 2009 and is currently responsible for more than 2.4 million books from 420 publishers and ebook platforms. In addition to the long tail of backlist titles, Portico preserves approximately 200,000 new books annually through these agreements.
