October 2009
Open Access Week
• Central to UK LOCKSS Alliance, and CLOCKSS, is access.
• The UK LOCKSS Alliance is a co-operative organization whosegoal is to ensure continuing access to scholarly work in ways thatare sustainable over the long term.
• Access to content is central component of licenses– Secure continuing access to scholarly content within license
terms– Where possible, taking steps to encourage Open Access
* LOCKSS is building local collections, but Open Access andCreative Commons license allows greater freedom for use.
* For CLOCKSS, Open Access following release is integral.
The Developing Environment
• UKLOCKSS and CLOCKSS separate payment from access and putlibraries in control.– UKLOCKSS is all about you, your collections, your scholars.– CLOCKSS is a global initiative where you have influence on the global
stage.
• Together, the two initiatives ensure all publishers are covered,both large and small.
• They ensure that content is in your custody and control– locally with UKLOCKSS; globally with CLOCKSS.
• Open access ensures that libraries are the benefactor– Where not possible, secure continuing access as entitlement of
subscription
• Governance model allows libraries to take active leadership– locally, nationally and internationally
