Portico Announces Digital Preservation Agreement with University of Technology Sydney Library

Portico (www.portico.org) is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with University of Technology Sydney (Australia) Library (UTS Library) to preserve its online collection of 11 e-journals. UTS Library created UTSeScholarship in 2004, an initiative that provides a secure, stable, digital home for the scholarly output of the University's staff, students, and colleagues with whom they collaborate. UTSeScholarship includes UTSePress, which publishes these scholarly journals as well as books and conference proceedings.

Through this agreement with Portico, UTS Library ensures that the online versions of its journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. UTS Library has named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims and has also agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico.

With the inclusion of UTS Library's e-journals, over 10,000 e-journals and 27,000 e-books from 77 publishers on behalf of 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. A complete list of titles and participating publishers is available at www.portico.org.
