"Under the terms of the agreement, articles
by UC-affiliated authors accepted for
publication in a Springer journal beginning in 2009 will be published
using Springer Open Choice with full and immediate open access. There
will be no separate per-article charges, since costs have been factored
into the overall license
The foundation of the University of California libraries digital preservation program, the Digital Preservation Repository (DPR) serves the stewardship mission of the UC libraries by providing a single shared solution for the preservation, management, and controlled dissemination of digital collections that support research, teaching, and learning. The repository provides a set of self-service interfaces that the libraries use to deposit and manage digital objects, relieving individual libraries of the burden of creating and maintaining custom digital repositories. The services and storage are based at the California Digital Library (CDL).
