British Library to Archive Electronic Resources

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the an-archiver's-archives dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The British Library is a government-owned library that legally has to hold a copy of every book, pamphlet, map, journal, newspaper and piece of sheet music published in the UK. Today, that law changed and now the Library will be able to collect non-paper resources, such as websites, electronic journals, CD-ROMs and microfilms. Obviously, the library won't be archiving everything in these categories (for a start, the Wayback Machine already does a pretty good job of the websites), but will be keeping resources of national, historical or academic interest. There's more specific information in The British Library's press release. BBC News (which will now be archived by the Library) has an article on the changes."

      Parent poster is a religious zealot who has trolled #GNAA and attempted to get us to belive in the fairy tale known as Christianity.

      This guy is a racist and homophobe who seems to have problem us being homosexual and black. I dont know why, but I suppose it has something to do with his religious views.

      The above phone number will take you directly into the call center of "The 700 Club", a well-known Christian propaganda organization.

      Feel free to call and fuck with them (it costs them money), but be aware of who you are calling - its not the GNAA.

      Real GNAA members aren't afraid to say the word Gay or Nigger like the parent, btw. #GNAA is on EFNet, not Slashnet either.
