"The archive represents the entire back archive of the journal of the Biochemical Society which celebrates its centenary this year. Speaking at the event, Sir Philip thanked JISC and the Wellcome Trust for their funding which has not only paid for digitisation of the journal but will also ensure that the archive, hosted by PubMedCentral, will be openly available to all in perpetuity. Digitisation of the journal is part of a major collaborative programme of digitisation called the 'Medical journals backfiles digitisation project', a partnership between JISC, the Wellcome Trust and the US National Library of Medicine which will see the digitisation of nearly 1.7 million pages of complete backfiles from important and historically significant British and American medical journals."

The Jackson-Madison County Library Board will offer bids this week for businesses to manage the daily operations. This is an effort to minimize the costs of running the library and hopefully offer additional services and hours, library board officers said."
