LOCKSS is a unique digital preservation solution that enables 
libraries to easily and inexpensively collect and preserve their 
own copy of authorized e-content. LOCKSS Alliance members who 
subscribe to The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of 
Clinical Psychiatry, Fourth Edition, at PsychiatryOnline.com will 
have access to this e-book in perpetuity. The Fourth Edition of 
Textbook of Clinical Psychiatry is being made available for 
LOCKSS preservation in conjunction with the March 2008 release of 
the new Fifth Edition to current subscribers at 
www.PsychiatryOnline.com, the book-and-journal portal from APPI.

"We are thrilled to support APPI in its endeavor to preserve for 
future generations, not simply its world-class e-journals on the 
LOCKSS system, but also this important digital textbook. Through 
these actions, APPI helps libraries fulfill their role as 
custodians of scholarly content," says Vicky Reich, LOCKSS 
Director.

"We feel lucky to have the LOCKSS system as a preservation 
solution," says Pam Harley, Director of e-Publishing Strategy at 
APPI, "and to be able to extend their innovative and 
collaborative approach beyond our journals to our key online 
textbooks, making sure they remain accessible for generations to 
come."
