Re: Author self-archiving and legacy retrodigitization

For the journal which is digitizing back issues, it makes sense to
archive in a disciplinary repository, where one is available, rather
than authors' institutional repositories. This is much easier for
the journal - only one archive to work with, rather than one archive
per author.

This digitization and archiving will greatly facilitate author self-
archiving, of course. Making it very clear that authors (or their
institutions on their behalf) have permission to do this, would be
most helpful.

At E-LIS, we are happy to work with any LIS journal wishing to make
retrodigitized issues available to all.
