Libraries are using the LOCKSS software to capture, preserve, and give access to a wide variety of web-based and born-digital content.
[edit] Private LOCKSS Networks
A descripton of Private LOCKSS Networks
- The COPPUL Private LOCKSS Network is a pilot program that utilizes the LOCKSS digital preservation system as a means to archive collections of local interest to members of the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL) that are not being preserved through any other means. Digital materials such as small university press publications, open access journals, born digital government publications, and other electronic journal collections that are at risk of being lost will be preserved as part of the program.
- MetaArchive Project (six institutions funded by the Library of Congress are preserving at-risk digital content on the culture and history of the American South)
- Alabama Digital Preservation Network (NAAL libraries funded by the IMLS are preserving locally-created digital resources)
- ASERL ETDs Project (eight ASERL libraries are preserving over 13,000 electronic theses and dissertations)
[edit] Initiatives
- Alaska State Documents Project (preserving Alaska state documents in the LOCKSS system)
- LOCKSS Humanities Project (preserving born-digital, humanities e-journals at immediate risk of loss)
- UK LOCKSS Pilot Strand (a JISC/CURL partnership is funding a LOCKSS pilot so UK HE libraries have custody and preservation of important scholarly materials)
