Wellcome library, UK
The Wellcome Library today is one of the world’s greatest collections for the study of the history of medicine. The print, manuscript, audio, film, pictorial and digital collections are a national treasure and an unrivalled intellectual resource. In the digital research environment the Library has made a long term commitment to develop its capability to incorporate born-digital materials into its collections. It has appointed a permanent staff member who is responsible for developing the processes for acquiring and managing born-digital material. The Library also participates in the UK Web Archiving Consortium, selecting and archiving sites in line with the Library's collection development policy. The Wellcome Trust - through the Wellcome Library - is also working with a group a UK biomedical research funders to develop a UK version of PubMed Central. Though the primary aim of UKPMC is to facilitate better access to the research literature - and create new services and tools that meet the needs of the research community - long term preservation of the "minutes of science" is another key objective. UKPMC is now live and can be accessed at http://ukpmc.ac.uk
