A comprehensive means of preserving, safeguarding, and making accessible digital objects for the future, especially those objects that comprise the record of advances in human knowledge, is an essential foundation for human progress.

To deliver on this mission we work to make sure that archiving remains in the hands of the community -- this is a mission for today and in perpetuity and is the reason that the Board of Director is comprised equally of libraries and publishers. By contributing to CLOCKSS, your organization becomes part of that community of libraries and publishers and you gain a direct voice in archiving decisions.</p> <p>The active support of libraries strengthens our influence with publishers, enabling us to persuade more to entrust the content they publish to the archive. We also work with library publishers to ensure these important publications become part of the international scholarly record preserved in CLOCKSS.</p> <p>CLOCKSS complements and supports your own digital preservation strategy. It is more cost effective and efficient to collaborate to preserve published digital books and journals rather than each institution duplicating this effort. That frees you to focus on the unique content that you hold and make available. </p> <p>CLOCKSS also saves your library money by reducing the risk that you will be asked to pay for access to orphaned content. Publishers who participate in CLOCKSS agree that we can make triggered content available open access, and grant us the rights to do this in perpetuity.</p> <p>Library supports enables us to subsidize preservation costs for the long-tail of new and smaller publishers whose content is most at-risk. For example, this includes diamond open access titles via the <a href="https://doaj.org/preservation/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">JASPER Project</a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="fl-accordion-item "> <div class="fl-accordion-button" id="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-tab-14" aria-controls="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-panel-14" tabindex="0"> <a href="#" id="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-label-14" class="fl-accordion-button-label" tabindex="0" aria-controls="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-panel-14">CLOCKSS and LOCKSS: are they the same thing?</a> <a href="#" id="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-icon-14" class="fl-accordion-button-icon" tabindex="-1"><i class="fl-accordion-button-icon fl-accordion-button-icon-right fas fa-plus" title="Expand"><span class="sr-only">Expand</span></i></a> </div> <div class="fl-accordion-content fl-clearfix" id="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-panel-14" aria-labelledby="fl-accordion-5b7380dd38845-tab-14" aria-hidden="true"> <p>No. LOCKSS stands for Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe. The LOCKSS name has come over time to refer to at least 3 different things: </p> <p>1. it is the name of preservation software developed by Stanford university. The LOCKSS technology is “fault tolerant” and safeguards against the long-term, well-documented causes of digital loss: human error, computer attacks, economic and organizational failure.</p> <p>2. The LOCKSS technology preserves all formats (video, sound, pictures, text, etc.) and genres of content (e-journals, e-books, conference proceedings, etc.).</p> <p>3. it is in the name of the Global LOCKSS network which provides distributed preservation and local post-cancellation and perpetual access for subscription electronic journals and books, as well as a mechanism for building local collections of web-based scholarly open access publications.</p> <p>4. a community of varied distributed preservation services all operating on LOCKSS software. These preservation services are: the Alabama Digital Preservation Network (ADPN), Cariniana, CLOCKSS, MetaArchive, the Michigan Digital Preservation Network (MDPN), SAFE PLN, US Docs PLN, CGI PLN, and PKP PLN.</p> <p>CLOCKSS is a global archive that preserves content on behalf of all libraries and scholars worldwide. CLOCKSS does so in 12 strategically chosen academic libraries across the globe to optimize the content’s safety against political and environmental threats. Located in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, they each have a complete copy of the archive. They perform the preservation service on behalf of libraries and users everywhere; other libraries do not need to host the published scholarly literature for preservation purposes themselves. Many libraries support CLOCKSS through financial contributions and by participating in Archive governance; they do not need to host any technology locally. CLOCKSS is considered a “controlled LOCKSS" archive because of the unique role of the 12 nodes.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
