Case Study: Project Euclid, Cornell University and Duke University Press
Ten years ago the Cornell University Library, with the encouragement of the university’s department of mathematics and statistics, undertook an initiative designed to provide small, independent mathematics journals with an online publishing option. The majority of non-commercial journals in mathematics had yet to establish a footprint on the Internet by 2000. By early in the decade, however, academic libraries were beginning to favor internet delivery over paper editions for most STM serials.
