Well, I finally received a response.  The person who emailed back just informed me that access is only a 3 year rolling access, because they have to "make room for the new ones".

At least the titles are free.

Thanks,

Ken

Subject: online access to the Journal of European Economic History / UniGroup journals

Hello!

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this or not, but the link for the 2006 material is no longer visible for all 3 UniGroup journal titles (Journal of European Economic History, Economia Italiana, and Review of Economic Conditions in Italy).  All three titles are free.

http://www.unicreditreviews.eu/eng-home.php

Back in late August 2009, we received Vol. 37, Issue 1 of the Journal of European Economic History.  It arrived with a questionnaire, asking how we wanted to receive further issues.  I went to their website (see above) and looked at what they offered.  At the time, coverage started with the 2006 issues for all titles.  I had a few questions, and so emailed the publisher.  They wrote back, and we decided to switch to online only, based on having access from 2006 through the current issue.  Now, as I mentioned, 2006 material is not visible on the main webpage.

Using the Journal of European Economic History as an example, this link shows 2007, 2008 and 2009 material

http://www.unicreditreviews.eu/eng-riviste.php?vis=1&TestataID=3&AnnoID=5

The 2006 material only shows up if you replace the "5" at the end of the above URL with a "1"

http://www.unicreditreviews.eu/eng-riviste.php?vis=1&TestataID=3&AnnoID=1

I have now emailed the UniGroup several times, letting them know about the missing 2006 material, but I haven't heard anything back.  Emails were sent to economia.review@unicreditgroup.eu (listed on the website) and journal@unicreditgroup.eu (listed in the journal).  If your library links to any of the 3 titles, perhaps you could send an email to the 2 addresses?  I'm hoping that if they get several emails (from different libraries) about this problem, then they might fix it.

Thank you,

Ken
