Building Publishers' Journal Archives in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation

In response to fiscal pressure, increasing user demand, preservation needs, and concerns regarding future access to scholarly journal content, the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's (CIC) Center for Library Initiatives (CLI) has embarked on developing several publisher-based print journal archives. These print archives include titles from Elsevier's Academic Press and the complete publisher runs from John Wiley and Sons and Springer. This article is an overview of the processes and rationale for each archive and the corresponding lessons learned from these implementations.
