This document describes a proposed e-journal local hosting system and service in Korea. The system would obtain licenses from overseas publishers to provide free access to e-journal articles for member institutions of KESLI, and pay-per-view access for individual users. The system would involve collecting e-journal metadata and full-text files (PDF, XML) from publishers, loading them onto a server, and providing access through a single portal. It would also help build a long-term preservation system for electronic scholarly resources in Korea. Statistics on current e-journal collections and examples of the proposed user interfaces are also included.
