          Abstract

          For libraries, the transition from paper to electronic journals raises a number of critical questions, chief among them is the issue of electronic archives. Frequently overlooked by those outside the library community is the fundamental role the library plays as information repository and preservationist. The fact that increasingly more information is moving from paper to electronic form, and is correspondingly more accessible, does not obviate the need for a permanent record and ongoing availability. While there are a great many specific issues involved in a comprehensive discussion of who should provide electronic journal archives and how they are constructed, most fall under one of four broad topic areas – technical proficiency, permanence, location and trusteeship. This paper evaluates these areas and attempts to frame the how, where and who questions that both libraries and providers of e-journal services must ponder in the establishment of electronic journal archives.
