Speaking of lost work on the web, I was interested in reading back through
some earlier issues of the Pennsylvania Review, as I have some work
appearing there next month, and started clicking on their archived issues,
expecting to find a complete issue in each case. All I found for each back
issue was 3 or 4 pages -- usually just a single writer. No table of
contents for the issue, or contributor's notes, so no way even to see who or
what had been published beyond a single offering per issue. I know the
Pennsylvania Review has been around for a few decades at least, but is it
now only electronic, and does each issue largely disappear once its day has
passed?
I haven't paid a lot of attention to online journals so far --- is this sort
of practice the norm? Do old issues of online publications largely
dissipate into cyber limbo?
