Ebooks From Springer Archived by CLOCKSS
CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) has partnered with Springer Science+Business Media to preserve more than 32,000 ebooks in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world.A not-for-profit joint venture between the scholarly publishers and research libraries, CLOCKSS’s mission is to build a sustainable, geographically distributed dark archive for the benefit of the greater global research community. “All eBooks available in our eBook packages will be preserved in the CLOCKSS archive,” says Heather Ruland Staines, senior manager of e-operations. Staines oversees Springer’s participation in digital preservation initiatives. “Because our eBook collections are offered in an ownership model, we feel a particular responsibility to ensuring their availability in perpetuity.” Springer Science+Business Media is a global scientific publisher, publishing about 2,000 journals and more than 6,500 new books a year.
