Electronic Journal Archiving Projects
Projects/programs that focus on providing access to back-issues of journals or which focus on studying the issues of preserving digital resources
- Change the Metaphor: the Archive as an Ecosystem
- Article from the JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING, v.7, no.3, April 2002. Julia Martin and David Coleman take the position that there is no single answer to the archiving problem, that archiving practices must evolve as surely as any living organism. By changing our model from finding "the" answer to the archiving issue to a model in which we recognize that archiving is a moving target, we can more comfortably deal with today's archiving needs and those in the future.
- Digital Library Federation: Digital Preservation
- This page provides information on various library organization projects to maintain long-term access to the digital intellectual and scholarly record. It links to CLIR (Council on Library and Information Resources), DLF (Digital Library Federation), and CPA (Commission on Preservation and Access) preservation initiatives, research reports, and related information resources.
- e-Journal Archiving Program
- Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has funded six libraries to work on three various approaches to digital archiving.
- JSTOR
- Originally conceived by William G. Bowen, President of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, JSTOR began as an effort to ease the increasing problems faced by libraries seeking to provide adequate stack space for the long runs of backfiles of scholarly journals. The initial pilot project using 10 titles each in economics and history has greatly expanded to more than 240 titles in all disciplines.
- Project Muse
- Project Muse (Johns Hopkins University) is a collaboration between JHU Press and the Milton S. Eisenhower Library. The project provides online the full texts of over 200 scholarly journals in the arts and humanities, social sciences, and mathematics. It is now building a scientific journals program. Overall, twenty-five not-for-profit publishers and scholarly associations are involved with Project Muse.
