Announcing New Libraries in CLOCKSS
The CLOCKSS Community-Governed Archive Grows Fast
The CLOCKSS community of libraries has grown rapidly in the first half
of 2010, with 21 new libraries supporting the archive already this
year. The libraries to join in the past six months include Oxford
University, University of Utah, Vassar College, University of British
Columbia, and the European University Institute, as well as members of
the COPPUL consortium in Canada and the VIVA consortium in Virginia.
Since it was incorporated in October 2009, CLOCKSS has expanded its
community to 60 libraries worldwide, with eleven archive nodes at
major libraries in North America, Europe, and Asia.
CLOCKSS is a dark archive governed by the community of participating
libraries and publishers. All supporting libraries have a seat on the
CLOCKSS Advisory Council and help steer the archive’s strategy and
policies. In the words of Vic Elliott, University Librarian at the
Australian National University and one of the CLOCKSS Founding
Librarians: “Together we decide our own future - it is not decided for
us.”
