IEEE print John Christensen 12 Jul 2005 15:04 UTC

We are considering dumping our print copies of the IEEE and IEE journals covered electronically by IEEExplore but the library administration is nervous about this step.  I have contacted IEEE to see if they are keeping a print backup in case of a catastrophic loss of their database and am awaiting a response from them.  They have nothing on their website that addresses this issue.  I would like to know what other libraries are doing and if anyone knows of a print archive being kept anywhere of these journals.

Sincerely
