The LOCKSS Program is pleased to announce Springer ‘s participation in
the Global LOCKSS Network.
Springer has committed for LOCKSS preservation nearly 42,000 e-books;
more than 2000 e-journals, 174 eReference works, and 22,000 Protocols.
By implementing a library ownership model, Springer is enabling
libraries to fulfill a core library mission - to build and preserve
digital library collections.
The LOCKSS Program balances the needs of libraries and publishers to
access and preserve important scholarly materials over time. LOCKSS
libraries have perpetual access to content preserved in their
institution’s LOCKSS Box. Publishers receive all user hits; the LOCKSS
technology does not divert traffic from a publisher.
Heather Ruland Staines, Senior Manager eOperations says, “Springer is
pleased to announce that SpringerLink is LOCKSS compliant, allowing
libraries to preserve content and maintain access to their subscribed
and purchased content to support the long term needs of the scholarly
community.”
“Library collections are a keystone for perpetual access and long term
preservation. We are delighted to be working with Springer to support
libraries and their institutions” says Victoria Reich, Director LOCKSS
Program.
Springer Science+Business Media is a leading global scientific
publisher, publishing around 2,000 journals and more than 6,500 new
books a year. It has the largest STM eBook Collection worldwide, and the
largest business-to-business publisher in the German language.
The LOCKSS Program is a unit of the Stanford University Libraries.
Founded in 1998 libraries are building and preserving general
collections in the Global LOCKSS Network. Approximately 450 publishers
have committed their content for LOCKSS preservation. Libraries are
using Private LOCKSS Network to preserve government documents (Digital
Federal Depository Library Program), data sets, and special collections
materials. See www.lockss.org.
