National Library of the Netherlands-Portico Partnership at the Forefront of Digital Preservation and International Collaboration

National Library of the Netherlands-Portico Partnership at the Forefront of Digital Preservation and International Collaboration. Portico Press release. 28 May 2015.  
The National Library of the Netherlands (KB) and Portico created a new partnership that will  preserve e-journals through the KB’s e-Depot program, which preserves locally published content in the Netherlands. The program focuses on the preservation of e-journals from international scientific publishers and  “At the KB, our preservation strategy has been to use a variety of solutions and tools, and not rely on any single method.” Portico has been a key collaborator in their preservation work over the years.

The e-Depot already preserves more than 15 million e-journal articles. Portico will provide the KB with preservation-formatted e-journal content from scientific publishers who are new to the program including BioOne, Walter de Gruyter, Wolters Kluwer, Karger, Brill, and Thieme. An e-journal trigger event would allow the KB would provide journal access to Dutch researchers.
