Alliance Literature

• Literature group is working on PDF acquisition, storage, and access for the Alliance ABC
• WB downloads papers at different stages of the publication process (proof (numbered lines), temp (no volume, pages), final); other groups wait for a 'final' version of the PDF
• Do WB curators need PDFs at the proof and temp stages, or can we simplify our process and, as often as possible, just download 'final' PDFs?

Textpresso Links from WB
