Digital archiving in the physics literature: Author to archive and beyond the American Physical Society

The American Physical Society (APS) has long recognized as its goal the diffusion of the knowledge of physics. For the past 100 years, the society has used a paper-based, print-oriented publishing process in support of this goal. This paper describes the strategies and projects, being developed and implemented, that will enable the exploitation of the emerging Internet and electronic publishing technologies in support of the Society's goal.
