LOCKSS appears at BioOne

The ongoing availability and stability of the intellectual archive skyrockets as a Library of Alexandria-type debacle is removed from the realm of possibility for the material contained in BioOne. The following text notice and a LOCKSS logo device appear at the journal archive and volume level throughout the website. LOCKSS system has permission to collect, preserve, and serve this Archival Unit LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) is an attempt to preserve digital content against the vagaries of economic conditions, weather, and other hazards to access from a single site. Although LOCKSS does not currently document the BioOne participation, the status report demonstrates significant commitment from Project Muse, the cooperation of a half dozen Open Access journals, and tentative experimentation by HighWire Press and Berkeley Electronic Press.
