The LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) Program has embarked on a year long pilot project with the Government Printing Office “to investigate using LOCKSS as a means to manage, disseminate, and preserve access to Web-based Federal Government e-journals that are within the scope of the FDLP and the IES.”  More information about the pilot can be found at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/lockss/index.html.
