Powerpoint Presentation
LOCKSS (http://lockss.stanford.edu) is an Internet appliance designed to preserve access to web-published versions of material intended to be stable over time, such as academic journals. LOCKSS allows individual libraries to take custody of content in all formats delivered via HTTP and safeguard their community's access to it. By using LOCKSS, a library can ensure that, for their readers, hyperlinks continue to resolve and content is delivered even when on the Internet those links don't work and the content is no longer available. LOCKSS ensures the locally held content maintains its intergrity through a polling and reputation system; LOCKSS replicas cooperate to detect and repair preservation failures. LOCKSS is designed to run on very cheap hardware and to require almost no technical administration. The software will be distributed as an open source.
