"A library uses LOCKSS software to turn a low-cost PC into a digital preservation appliance called a LOCKSS Box that performs the following four functions: * It collects content from the target web sites using a web crawler similar to those used by search engines. * It continually compares the content it has collected with the same content collected by other LOCKSS Boxes, and repairs any differences. * It acts as a web proxy or cache, providing browsers in the library's community with access to the publisher's content or the preserved content as appropriate. It can also serve content by Metadata (Open URLs) via resolvers. * It provides a web-based administrative interface that allows the library staff to target new journals for preservation, monitor the state of the journals being preserved, and control access to the preserved journals.
