Notes:
- 1967 is the year of the first volume
- 1967-1982 volumes are bound together in 2 year batches
- The early papers are mimeographed
- Up to 2008 are bound
- 1,127 titles
- SSRN includes abstracts beginning with 1996-1997 (471 titles) pdfs w/ most but not all
- Barton records have these links but not consistently
Additional DOT notes:
- We are scanning the entire run for these reasons: a) it would keep the entire collection together in archive.org and DSpace which is a selling point for the department and b) it would be too much trouble to sift through the ones in SSRN and omit them from our scanning project because the ones in SSRN are not consistent.
- Will the library continue to receive paper copies? Maybe the Department could send us a pdf instead or upload it into DSpace and send a paper copy to Archives. (This is an issue for all research publications and something for DOT to discuss in the future.)
