abstract = {A study carried out for the UK Joint
Information Systems Committee examined models for the
provision of access to material in institutional and
subject-based archives and in open access journals. Their
relative merits were considered, addressing not only
technical concerns but also how e-print provision (by
authors) can be achieved ? an essential factor for an
effective e-print delivery service (for users). A "harvesting" model is recommended, where the metadata of articles deposited in distributed archives are harvested, stored and enhanced by a national service. This model has major advantages over the alternatives of a national centralized service or a completely decentralized one. Options for the implementation of a service based on the harvesting model are presented.}
