In the first six months of 2011, participating LOCKSS Program libraries preserved content from major partner publishers such as PNAS, Springer, Emerald, and the JBJS. The LOCKSS Alliance provides a full management digital preservation program. Libraries use LOCKSS to build and preserve local collections for future scholars and publishers, thus separating payment from access.
