The LOCKSS Program is pleased to make available for preservation Emerald journal titles in the Global LOCKSS Network.
Emerald has committed for LOCKSS preservation more than 270 e-journal titles. By implementing a library ownership model, Emerald is enabling libraries to fulfill a core library mission - to build and preserve digital library collections.
Participation in LOCKSS improves a library’s ability to guarantee long-term access to scholarly information, giving librarians and scholars confidence in the electronic environment. LOCKSS allows a library to build a local archive of scholarly content and activate perpetual access rights when needed, without affecting the daily relationship between library and publisher.
Rebecca Marsh, Publishing Director at Emerald, comments: "We are pleased to announce that the EmeraldInsight platform 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 Emerald to support libraries and their institutions," says Victoria Reich, Director LOCKSS Program.

Launched in August 2008, the UK LOCKSS Alliance is a cooperative movement of UK academic libraries that are committed to identify, negotiate, and build local archives of material that librarians and academic scholars deem significant. By ensuring that the library is involved in rights negotiation, collection decisions, and ownership of infrastructure it reinforces the role of the library as custodian of scholarly content.
