As more journals become published electronically, critical questions
concerning accessibility, property rights of journal publishers and authors
and devices to store these resources are being addressed by academic
library partnerships, vendors, and even the federal government.  Please

players in this burgeoning area:

Victoria Reich, Director and co-founder of the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep
Stuff Safe) Program
David Bretthauer, Network Services Librarian at University of Connecticut
Libraries

the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM)

The cost of this program is $20.
