Emerald Backfiles

"To commemorate its 40th anniversary, Emerald Group Publishing Limited has been working with the British Library to digitize the full archive of its journals collection in business, management, library and information services, materials science and engineering. From early 2008, the Emerald Backfiles will be available online for the first time, providing users with direct access to historical articles in a fully searchable format. With a collection that dates back to the nineteenth century, Emerald Backfiles form an interesting and important record for business and management scholars and social historians alike. The extended archive will help to fill collection gaps, reduce shelf space and provide access to articles that have never before been published electronically"
