Hi Steve,

We do not work much with the periodicals side of ProQuest and have not experienced this issue. My first thought, though, is to check the license you signed when you ordered the backfile (if you still have access to it) and any subsequent licensing that may have superseded it. The licensing may have more explicit wording about how the access is to be provided. You may learn that additional fees were always intended to be included. Or, you may find evidence to back up your position that you do not owe any extra fees.

Without knowing more about what the license said, I cannot give an opinion about the practice. I can certainly understand being upset if your library understood that you had paid all the fees you needed to be able to exercise that option and the publisher then asked for additional fees. Given the vast changes in technology, I can also understand that the publisher may have needed to adjust its practices in ways that might necessitate extra fees.

Good luck,

Erin
