Portico

摘要

Digital resources are quickly becoming the primary resource libraries provide and researchers use. Libraries have a burgeoning dependence on ephemeral items provided by other companies that rise and fall. While that sounds bleaker than the reality, there is a fear that one day the electronic items that libraries are investing in could disappear. Portico attempts to assuage this fear. Portico is a digital archive preserving journal titles, e-books and newspapers that are no longer available.
