[Taxacom] [Tdwg-guid] Demise of Phyloinformatics journal

[Richard Zander]

I'll be danged. My paper in Phyloinformatics is in the web.archive.org
site!
http://www.mobot.org/plantscience/ResBot/Repr/Zander-Phyloinformatics200
4.pdf

This paper is also on my own web site available as a "reprint," a minor
degree of duplication, which no doubt will collapse on my demise (I hope
long from now, but not long enough). I hope this paper was one of the
ones cited as interesting and important by Rod Page earlier in this
thread, but if not then future generations will doubtless discover some
value in it, thanks to web.archive.

The web.archive is a good thing, but libraries need to develop a
standard policy to store duplicate papers or reprints. Whole web sites
of informal but important information mounted by scientists may be
turned off without archiving by their institutions, without an
institutional policy in place to salvage such at one or more points in
time, and this should be done by their libraries or archives.  

I've tried to get my two web sites (below) archived locally, but no joy.
I was told by our librarian to print the web site out on paper and the
library would file it away.

All of Phyloinformatics is still available from the Internet Archive.
See http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.Phyloinformatics.org .
 
I tested it out and downloaded one article as a full pdf.
 
Cheers,
