“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” — Mark Twain (1835-1910). 
“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.” — Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

> Alex, Donna, Darrin, Mark, Eric, Donna and Charles –
>  
> I’m pleased to announce that Project MUSE has concluded contract negotiations with Portico for the archiving and preservation of all UPCC content on Project MUSE.  Both parties signed the agreement last week.
>  
> We’ve taken this important step to meet the requirements of our library partners for a robust, long-term preservation solution for the book products we sell and license.  Our goal is to ensure that the UPCC collections, at the title level, are available to libraries and their patrons in perpetuity.
>  
> We chose Portico, founded in 2002 as a not-for-profit service for the academic community, because they have developed a thoughtful, comprehensive strategy for archiving and preserving e-books. 
> To date they have ingested and archived 27,000 e-book titles published by a wide variety of society, university press, and commercial publishers.  Portico has been TRAC certified by the Center for Research Libraries (CRL).
>  
> Project MUSE is absorbing all costs associated with archiving and preserving the UPCC book assets on Portico. 
>  
> We will be asking each UPCC partner publisher to sign a Rider to their Johns Hopkins University Press E-Book Resale Agreement that grants us the right to provide their content to Portico.  A copy of that Rider is attached.  We have also developed, with input from Alex, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document that will accompany the Rider.  Please let me know if you have any comments on the FAQ.  We would like to circulate copies of both the Rider and FAQ to the UPCC presses in early September.  We hope to begin submitting book files and metadata to Portico in October.
