LOCKSS: what it is and how it works
• Lots of copies keeps stuff safe• Based at Stanford University Library since 2000• Peer to peer networks using ACM technology link
institutions• LOCKSS collects, compares, repairs and caches any
web based content on an in-house machine• www.lockss.org for more details• 450 publishers and 6,000 ejournal titles• LOCKSS is a preservation tool
The UK LOCKSS Alliance (UKLA)
• 2005: JISC led pilot to encourage preservation and support a move to ejournals
• 2008: Subscribed service• The JISC model licence and LOCKSS• The UKLA and its steering committee• Technical support based at EDINA• LSE has been a UK LOCKSS institution since the pilot
stage• UKLA membership:20 institutions
LOCKSS box at the LSE: from the pilot onwards
• Intermittent input until recently• Lack of imperative = lack of staff time• The importance of senior management commitment to
ejournal preservation• Local IT support • Administering a LOCKSS box: quick and basic or time
and labour intensive
Lessons learned
• Strategic importance of ejournal preservation • Basic or involved approach: dependent upon your own
collection and reporting requirements• Regular status checks • Talk to other LOCKSS instituions• Take advantage of UKLA events
Populating your LOCKSS box
• As new content becomes available institutions are emailed details about the publisher, titles and issues available for preserving in LOCKSS
What we’ve achieved
• Value for money: LOCKSS fee is a fraction of total cost of our current preserved content
• 75% of our Emerald tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS
• 48% of our Sage tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS• 80% of our OUP tracked titles are preserved in LOCKSS• 90% of our Springer tracked titles are preserved in
LOCKSS• Supporting and driving the LSE Library’s e-first policy
What’s still to be done
• Integrate our LOCKSS box with our link resolver• Automate serving content and simulate a trigger event• Make qualitative and detailed quantitative statements
about the extent of our LOCKSS content (PEPRS)• Preserve more than ejournals
