Abstract
With the increasing cost of conventional publishing and libraries and the decreasing cost of electronic media, a case can be made that journals would be more cheaply and efficiently used to store and disseminate information if they were not printed but held as data bases in computers. This paper decribes some of the problems encountered in an experiment in producing an electronic journal during 1978-80. The process is certainly practical, given current technology, but certain legal problems concerning international telecommunications must be solved.
