[Eril-l] Wiley ejournals four year rolling backfile access

[Deborah Bezanson]

Stephanie,
It seems to depend on if you have an Enhanced license (generally a package)
from Wiley.

See:  http://olabout.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-406100.html

That page indicates:
Our Wiley Online Enhanced License customers will continue to get both
perpetual and archival access rights back to 1997 for their existing and
new subscriptions

Institutional subscriptions to individual journals

   - Archival access to content dating back 5 years during the subscription
   year 2017 (i.e. you gain access to content from 2013 to 2017 during the
   subscription year 2017)
   - Perpetual access to the paid-for year (i.e. you maintain access to
   2017 content if you cease your subscription at the end of 2017

It doesn't seem to be a new policy.  I used the WayBack machine to look at
that page for October 24, 2010 and they were saying:


   - Archival access to content dating back 5 years during the subscription
   year 2011 (i.e. you gain access to content from 2007 to 2011 during the
   subscription year 2011)
   - Perpetual access to the paid-for year (i.e. you maintain access to
   2011 content if you cease your subscription in 2012)
