The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland to preserve their e-journals 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, the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland has committed to the preservation of their e-journals. 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.
Kevin Murphy, the Mineralogical Society’s Executive Director, notes “We at the Mineralogical Society are delighted to join the CLOCKSS family, providing a safe haven for our scholarly content for scientists to use long into the future.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland’s e-journals into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, the society has ensured that their work to advance the knowledge of the science of mineralogy is secured for future generations of scholars. CLOCKSS has achieved a rare consensus among libraries and publishers, and we are grateful, as the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its e-journals in a way that secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
