Portico Launches New Website

We are very pleased to announce the launch of the new Portico website (www.portico.org) and hope that librarians and publishers will take the time to explore it. More than 650 libraries and 90 publishers (representing over 2,000 scholarly associations) around the world are working together to support the digital preservation of scholarly content through Portico. We hope that the new site provides the information our colleagues need to take full advantage of Portico participation.

Highlights include:

• Who Participates? – Detailed sort-able lists of participating libraries, publishers, and titles (e-journals, e-books, and d-collections), including bibliographic information, archive holdings, and information about the preservation status of titles and their availability for post-cancellation access.
• The Archive: Content & Access – A summary of archive growth and contents over time, a snapshot of current facts and figures, information about ‘triggered content,’ and readily accessible links to our archive audit and access sites.
• Preservation Step-by-Step – An overview to help librarians and publishers educate others in their organizations about how digital content is preserved in Portico that is easy to understand and supported by visual aids.
• How Portico Saves You Time and Money – Information on how to get value from Portico participation today, including links to our holdings comparison service and to case studies from librarian colleagues.
