Palgrave Macmillan to Preserve E-Books in Portico; Palgrave Also Will Make Financial Contribution to Portico

From the Announcement:

Portico is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Palgrave Macmillan to preserve about 5,400 e-books hosted on the Palgrave Connect platform. Through this agreement with Portico, Palgrave Macmillan furthers its preservation strategy, which already includes participation in Portico since 2007 on behalf of 44 titles from its e-journals collection as well as participation in JSTOR on behalf of eight journals and ensures that the online version of its scholarly monographs will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students.

[Snip]

As part of the agreement, Palgrave Macmillan will make an additional financial contribution to Portico to support its preservation activities.

With the inclusion of Palgrave Macmillan's scholarly monographs, over 10,600 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 88 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.
