PRESS RELEASE

Securing the Future of Database Content
De Gruyter Now Using the CLOCKSS Archive

Berlin, 8 May 2013 – De Gruyter is pleased to announce that it is now
archiving its 36 databases and 55 eBookPLUS at the CLOCKSS Archive.
CLOCKSS is a US-based non-profit whose mission is to provide for the
long-term digital archiving of academic publications. Partnership with
CLOCKSS ensures that in the event of server failure and data loss, De
Gruyter's content will remain globally available to the scientific
community. The permanent backup of digital archives is particularly
useful for libraries seeking to preserve their electronic collections.

"By archiving our digital content with CLOCKSS, we are fulfilling a
wish frequently voiced by customers," says Sven Fund, Managing
Director of De Gruyter. "We are glad to have found a first-class
partner who will ensure that the valuable work of our authors and
publishers remains accessible to all users long into the future."

CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds: "The CLOCKSS Archive
welcomes De Gruyter's decision to upload its databases and eBookPLUS
to our storage systems. By archiving content at CLOCKSS, De Gruyter
will guarantee that its valuable publications remain available now and
in the future to all generations of researchers worldwide."
