[WEB4LIB] archiving websites

[Jerry Kuntz]

Good question. 13 versions of NJC from 2001 are archived at the Wayback Machine [www.waybackmachine.org], and probably earlier editions at the earlier URLs. But I don't know if relying on the Wayback Machine is an accepted archiving practice. For one thing, it's beyond your control; for another thing, many filter products block the Wayback Machine.
