The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) to preserve their epublications 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.
“GAATW is looking forward to our partnership with CLOCKSS” said Amy Klopfenstein. “We are excited about the benefits that archiving with CLOCKSS will provide.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes The Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women’s epublications with their important coverage of human trafficking, into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, GAATW that the scholarship in their publications will continue to be available to as wide an audience as possible, now and in the future, and preserves the content in a way that secures it for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
