Hi Dawn,

My name is Adam Rusbridge, the UK LOCKSS Alliance Coordinator. I  
suspect you will be familiar with LOCKSS already but thought I would  
get in touch to point you towards recent documents and developments.

You may have been familiar with the UK LOCKSS Pilot Programme, led by  
the Digital Curation Centre. Information on the project is available  
online at: http://www.dcc.ac.uk/lockss/pilot. However, perhaps more  
useful to you will be the two associated JISC-funded reports that were  
released last year:

Last year's JISC funded comparison of e-Journal Archiving Services:
A Comparative Study of e-Journal Archiving Solutions (May 2008), Terry  
Morrow, Neil Beagrie, Maggie Jones, Julia Chruszcz
http://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/media/documents/jisc_collections/reports/e_journals_archiving_%20solutions_report_final_080518.pdf

Last year's evaluation of the UK LOCKSS Pilot Programme:
Evaluation of the JISC UK LOCKSS Pilot, May 2008, Pete Dalton and Dr  
Angela Conyers, Evidence Base
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/preservation/

The UK LOCKSS Alliance is now going ahead as a national membership  
organisation supported by EDINA at the University of Edinburgh. The  
current EDINA webpage on LOCKSS (soon to be relaunched and revised):
http://edina.ac.uk/lockss/

In addition, we are about to circulate some short promotional  
literature to a number of UK librarians. I wonder if it would be  
useful for me to include you in forthcoming circulations?

I hope this is useful. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any  
questions.

Best regards,
Adam
