As a sort of insurance policy for maintaining access to electronic journals, should some unforseen catastrophe occur, the University Library is subscribing to the Portico digital archiving program. Portico offers a service that provides a permanent archive of electronic scholarly journals. Initial support for Portico was provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ithaka, The Library of Congress, and JSTOR. A list of participating publishers is available, and includes such publishers as the American Inst. of Physics (AIP), Annual Reviews, Elsevier, John Wiley & Sons, Oxford University Press, Sage publications, and the University of Chicago Press. As of September 1st, 2006, over 3,700 titles are being preserved at Portico.
