Portico (www.portico.org) is pleased to announce that more than 150 academic libraries in Brazil have begun participation in the Portico archive. These libraries joined Portico as part of a digital preservation initiative directed by the ‘Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento do Pessoal de Nivel Superior’ (CAPES).
CAPES is a governmental foundation affiliated to the Ministry of Education in Brazil, that supports and sponsors research initiatives and the scientific development of Brazilian researchers and professors.
“To be part of the Portico initiative is very important to all CAPES institutional members. We firmly believe Portico will meet our preservation needs in terms of scientific journals content,” said Professor Elenara Almeida, Coordinator of CAPES Scientific Portal.
The Brazilian libraries join more than 460 libraries from 13 countries in supporting Portico and digital preservation.
