The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with IGI Global 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. By archiving with CLOCKSS, IGI Global has committed to the preservation of their ejournals and ebooks. 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.
Saeed Otufat-Shamsi, IGI Global’s Senior Director of Business Development, commented, “IGI Global supports the library’s role as the custodians of archived content, ensuring that electronic content is protected for future generations of researchers. We are pleased to partner with CLOCKSS to provide a permanent archive of our electronic scholarly journals and books through one of the most advanced digital preservation initiatives. The solution of a decentralized, geographically disparate preservation model ensures that the digital assets of the community will survive intact.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director, Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes IGI Global’s ejournals and ebooks, with their coverage of the IT and computer science fields, into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, IGI Global has ensured that IGI’s premier and peer-reviewed content in education, social science, library science, healthcare, business management, public administration, and computer science will be available for a worldwide audience now and in the future. We are grateful, as IGI Global joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its ejournals and ebooks in a way that secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
