Hello all,
Several years ago when I was trying to see how many of our
print journals are available online, I was able to get a report from our journal
vendor, Swets, that gave me the exact details on what was available online.
It indicated which titles have rolling years, which ones have perpetual
access, etc. You might be able to use something like this.
If you have Serials Solutions, you might be able to search by
publisher and look at all their titles with online dates.
For many titles, I had to go to each publisher website and
look at their access policy. It is a very time consuming process and might
change every year.
Good luck,
Hella

Trial and error. Some publishers are much better at holding and
sharing this information than others. Your subscription agent may well be
able to help as well. Other than that it is taking a look and seeing what
you can get into. Time-consuming, yes, initially. But
worthwhile.
Best regards

Subject: [SERIALST] Confirming E-access
dates
We
are discussing how best to determine exactly what period of access we are
supposed to have for each of our electronic titles. The thought has been
put forth to contact the publisher - that publishers would have a set period for
all of their titles and we could go by that information.
Skeptic that I am, I am a)
not trusting publishers actually do have such a policy at the ready, and b) that
they do not change it at will. I am willing, and hoping, actually, to be
wrong.
So -
looking to the cumulated wisdom of Serialsters - any information, thoughts,
experience you are willing to share. If you have set about determining
that sort of information, how have you done it, and how successful have you
been? Time involved? Other thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeanette
