Re: BMJ Journals back archives

[Michael Butterfield <MButterfield@bmjgroup.com>]

We are digitising the BMJ Journals back archive (e.g. BMJ, Gut, Heart,
Thorax, etc.) and are seeking feedback from librarians. It would be
helpful if you could let us know:

1. Is this of interest? Might you be willing to pay for it?

2. When the full archive is available online would you be more likely to
switch to electronic only access?

3. Would you prefer to host the back archive yourself or have perpetual
access via the journals? web sites?

4. Any other important aspects from a library point of view that we should
consider?

You comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Please reply to me either via the list or directly to
mbutterfield@bmjgoup.com.

Thanks for your help.
