A Letter from Portico
Dear Colleagues,
Many of you have expressed a desire to be kept apprised of Portico's activities and development, and we have previously reported to you on the initial support which Portico has received from JSTOR, Ithaka, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Library of Congress.
...
I write now to share the latest news of Portico's activities, focusing on our engagement with the library community.
