<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Portico is pleased to announce the University Library of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, as its 1,000<sup>th</sup> participating library. They
joined Portico alongside 53 other German institutions following an exhaustive evaluation funded by the
<span style="background:white">Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), which recommended participation in Portico as part of their national strategy for digital preservation of licensed content.

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">“Our scientists often ask us how sustainable the library's investment in digital media is. Portico is a key element in our
archiving strategy,” said Library Director Konstanze Söllner.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Increasingly, library consortia around the world have turned to Portico as part of a national digital preservation strategy. Portico is supported
by CAPES in Brazil, SURFMarket in the Netherlands, the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI), b-on in Portugal, the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries, MINCYT in Argentina, and dozens of other consortia and university systems around the world.

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Several of Portico’s earliest supporters took the occasion to reflect on Portico’s growth over the last decade, and the
increasing awareness of the importance of digital preservation:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Dr. Paul Ayris, Pro-Vice-Provost (UCL Library Services), said, “In a digital world, the serious user needs to be sure that the materials
they access today will be available tomorrow. Portico has become a global trusted service that fills such a need: long-term access to resources is a key part of the digital infrastructure of the 21st century.”

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">“We consider Portico to be a vital component of our licensed content portfolio,” said Ivy Anderson,
<span style="background:white">Associate Executive Director of the California Digital Library.
</span> “Archival rights are meaningless without a trusted archive to back them up – Portico gives us that assurance, and occupies a special place in the scholarly ecosystem as a community resource that holds valuable content in trust for the academic community.”
