The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Athabasca University Press to preserve their ejournals and ebooks in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world. This action provides for content to be freely available to everyone after a “trigger event” and ensures an author’s work will be maximally accessible and useful over time.
“AU Press welcomes this partnership with CLOCKSS, as we can now ensure the long term preservation of our scholarly content for our authors, as well as our current and future readers,” said Kathy Killoh, Acting Director for Athabasca University Press. CLOCKSS will allow us to provide accessibility in perpetuity, an important service for the fast changing digital world.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “By archiving with CLOCKSS Athabasca University Press has ensured that the scholarship in their publications will be available for a worldwide audience now and in the future in a manner that secures them for the long-term good of scholars.”
