In responding to Anke several people have said something like the following:
>....My understanding of copyright is that libraries are not permitted
to create their own archives of issues without specific permission of
the publisher. I also believe that libraries would prefer not to do
this, as it is easier for the publisher to create the means of
distribution than for each subscribing library to create and maintain
its own local version of the publisher's server.<
It should be noted that a number of libraries are not satisfied with
leaving archiving matters in the hands of publishers, but until there
are effective means of permanently archiving digital information at
libraries the issue is likely to remain moot. When libraries feel
confident of archiving successfully, the issue will become very
significant. --pg
