[Eril-l] Post-cancellation perpetual access in collection development policies?

[Kness, Kelsey]

Hi Mary,
We don’t have anything official, though my Director tends to want us to provide the perpetual access. There was a session at ER&L 2021 discussing this exactly, Indispensable or unnecessary? A data-driven appraisal of post cancellation access rights by Jason Price Research & Scholarly Communication Director, SCELC Library Consortium, John McDonald Product Manager, EBSCO Information Services, and Michael Levine-Clark Dean, University of Denver Libraries.
TD;LR: The conclusion the usage was significantly diminished 5 years post cancellation, and even further the more years go by. Very informative. I plan on bringing this up with my Director to discuss no longer providing perpetual access links. Since I’m the only eresources person, it becomes extra work the library is no longer getting value from.

I’d be interested in hearing from others.

Kindly,

Subject: [Eril-l] Post-cancellation perpetual access in collection development policies?

Hi all,

I'm gathering information for what I hope will result in a policy/practice/philosophy regarding our documentation and management of post-cancellation perpetual access e-journals.

Do any of you have policies or procedures around when you do, or do not maintain access to post-cancellation titles? We all know the process to maintain post-cancellation access can be complicated and time consuming. Is there a point where you invoke the law of diminishing returns and decide not to maintain the access?

Thank you for sharing any thoughts!

Mary
