TULIP

A program from Elsevier Science (212-633-3787) to license universities to receive technical journals in electronic form, including bibliographic information. To date, over 43 Elsevier and Pergamon journals are available at major universities such as The University of Michigan, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, University of Tennessee, University of California, University of Washington, Virginia Tech, MIT, and others. This is probably the first major attempt by a publisher of science journals to depart from hard copy publishing in favor of electronic media. Major advantages to users include compactness for storage, rapid access and retrieval, keyword searching, and ability to add user annotations and updates.
