Subject: Electronic back issues?

My director suggested to me that we look into acquiring CD's for back
issues of journals like Newsweek, Time, Science, etc.  We have volumes back
into the 1920's.  We have replaced some volumes with microfilm, but patrons
prefer electronic access.

I am concerned that CD's are a dying technology and digital inforomation
may not last.

But I would also like to know if there is a source for such journals in
electronic form.
