“As more users turn to online access for books, a digital preservation strategy to ensure long-term access is absolutely vital,” stated Hannah Perrett, Strategic Development Director, Digital Publishing, Cambridge University Press. “Portico’s E-Book Preservation Service provides publishers and libraries with a collaborative solution that we can all get behind.”

Cambridge University Press is the publishing department of the University of Cambridge and is one of the largest academic publishers in the world. As part of the agreement, Cambridge University Press will make an annual contribution to Portico to support its E-Book Preservation Service.

The addition of titles from Cambridge Books Online brings the total number of e-books committed to the Portico archive to more than 123,000. Beginning in 2011, Portico expanded its preservation services offered to libraries with the introduction of separate e-book and e-journal services. These distinct services enable libraries to choose where to invest their preservation resources based on their collections, needs and budgets.

“Cambridge University Press has been an early leader in the publishing community with its commitment to digital preservation,” stated Kate Wittenberg, Portico Managing Director. “We are thrilled to extend our relationship with them.”
