Portico is pleased to announce that it has entered into a license agreement with Taylor & Francis Group to preserve the publisher’s entire collection of e-books. With this agreement, Taylor & Francis expands its relationship with Portico, which began in 2006 with the publisher’s commitment to deposit its entire list of e-journals to the Portico archive.
Taylor & Francis, an Informa business, is a leading international academic publisher whose book portfolio includes the imprints Taylor & Francis, Routledge, CRC Press, Garland Science, and Psychology Press.
The addition of Taylor & Francis’ titles brings the total number of e-books committed to the Portico archive to approximately 66,000. Beginning in 2011, Portico will expand the preservation services offered to libraries with the introduction of separate e-book and e-journal services. These distinct services will enable libraries to choose where to invest their preservation resources based on their collections, needs and budgets.
Since 2005, the number of titles and types of content preserved in Portico has grown significantly. To date, close to 12,000 e-journals, 66,000 e-books, and 13 digitized historical collections have been entrusted to the Portico archive.
