The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Duke University Press to preserve their ejournals in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Duke University Press has committed to the preservation of their ejournals. 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.
“We are excited to partner with the CLOCKSS Archive,” says Kim Steinle, Library Relations Manager at Duke University Press. “We know how important archiving is to libraries, and we are pleased to take this step to guarantee the dissemination of our journal content into the future. The preservation of our journals is an ongoing commitment at Duke University Press; we want to safeguard access into perpetuity in order to further the work of both our authors and our readers.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes Duke University Press’s ejournals, with their coverage of humanities and social sciences, into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Duke University Press has ensured the long-term preservation of their ejournals. We are grateful, as Duke University Press joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its ejournals in a way that secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
