E-Journals--Preservation The National Library of the Netherlands Becomes First Official Digital Archive for Elsevier Science Journals
From the announcement, "...the library will receive digital copies of all Elsevier journals made available on its web platform, ScienceDirect, which are approximately 1,500 journals covering all areas of science, technology and medicine, and exceeding 7 TB of data...Karen Hunter, Senior Vice President, Strategy at Elsevier and responsible for this digital archiving initiative, explains the relevance of this agreement: �It is essential that we will be able to guarantee both authors and researchers using the journals that the electronic files will be permanently available. Journals have been called �the minutes of science�. As we move toward journals being available only in electronic form and being held centrally on publishers� computers, the public has the right to be assured that, should a publisher go out of business, these files will not be lost."
