- p0llard 6y agoCan universities not manage that themselves? Archival isn't a new problem and I don't believe it's a problem that should be tackled by a profit making company; if there were a non-profit responsible for safe-guarding the collective knowledge of humanity that would be one thing, but I'm pretty sure publishers aren't treating this as their aim.

When viewed through the lens of maintaining accessibility for hundreds of years or more, I am comfortable with slow change. The question is how much do you trust the publishers to do this?
