The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with
Knowledge Unlatched to preserve their ebooks in CLOCKSS's
geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant
archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the
world.  This action provides for content to be freely available to
everyone after a "trigger event" and ensures an author's work will be
maximally accessible and useful over time.

Knowledge Unlatched’s Executive Director, Frances Pinter, said, “We
seek to reassure libraries around the world that the books that they
are facilitating to be made available on an Open Access license will
remain accessible in perpetuity. In partnering with CLOCKSS we are
securing the content’s future.”

CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “By archiving with
CLOCKSS, Knowledge Unlatched has ensured that the scholarship in their
collection of ebooks will be available for a worldwide audience now
and in the future in a manner that secures them for the long-term good
of scholars."

About:  Knowledge Unlatched believes that by working together
libraries and publishers can create a sustainable route to Open Access
for scholarly books and secure long-term cost savings for their own
institutions by sharing the costs of making HSS monographs available
on a Creative Commons license. http://www.knowledgeunlatched.org
