In the past two or three years, e-journals have become the largest and fastest growing segment of the digital collections. Collections that a few years ago numbered in the few hundreds of titles now number in the thousands, and the rate of growth continues to increase. We need to archive/preserved the copies of e-journals for future generations were the same copies being read by the current generation of users. Archiving of the E- Journal/E- Content addresses two major issues, Firstly, is giving access to the sources. Secondly, its preservation for long – term use. In this paper I will discusses the issues related to e-journal archiving and their possible solution using some open source software like LOCKSS, Dspace, Eprint, etc. In this paper I am also going to discuss the framework for Evaluation of Archiving Software. |
