I’ve just received confirmation that, beginning in January,

the formerly free archive of Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery

(American ed.) will now require a one-time purchase.

What bothers me is that this archive is considered to include

the years 1889-1999. Until now, our paid access included the

years 1996 to the present; after this change, it’ll only be 2000

to the present. So four years we thought we’d already paid

for – 1996, 1997, 1998, & 1999 – are being taken away.

It’s happened before, but that doesn’t make it any righter!

Even if a title changes hands, moving to a different publisher,

doesn’t the new publisher have an obligation to honor the

agreements of the former publisher? SW
