Community governance is central to the way CLOCKSS works, with librarians and publishers sharing responsibility for our direction and ensuring that the organization remains accountable to the community we serve. Drawing on their experience and the needs they encounter in their daily work, our Board members shape future strategy for CLOCKSS, guide management, and set annual fees, bringing the perspectives of both libraries and publishers to decisions about the long-term preservation of the scholarly record.
We are pleased to announce that, at our most recent Board meeting, the following members were elected to serve as CLOCKSS Officers for the coming year:
