CSIRO joins over 700 supporting libraries of the CLOCKSS Archive worldwide based in Asia, Europe, North America and South America.

 Thomas Girke, Information Support Manager at CSIRO, commented "CSIRO Library Services places the highest priority on delivering desktop access to information.  Joining CLOCKSS will ensure preservation of our valuable online resources". 

CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds "We are pleased at the steady growth of support in Australia and New Zealand. The region has always been well represented by ANU and their board membership in CLOCKSS. In addition to the library support, a number of publishers in the region are preserving their content in the CLOCKSS Archive. We welcome CSIRO as the first Australian government library."
