Thank you all; I am in the process of going back through site
licenses (if in existence) for these and other cancelled titles to see what the
post cancellation policy states, or to see what types of subscriptions they
were..perhaps we will be in better shape with the others..
Your input is much appreciated..
Best,
Joanne

I only count on perpetual access
to our subscribed years if it is explicitly stated in our signed
agreement. Even then, it is not a guarantee. If the title moves
publishers, the publishers folds, etc, that access may not be guaranteed.
The best guarantee for perpetual access is LOCKSS or Portico.
We really try not to move a
title to electronic only unless our agreement states that we will have
perpetual access to our subscribe years. As we face an upcoming serials
cut, we will certainly consider how willing the publisher is to work with the
library regarding issues such as perpetual access, ILL, and contract
negotiations.

Whether you can count on post-cancellation online access might
depend on the nature of the subscriptions you maintained to these
journals. If you had online-only subscriptions, or print-plus-online
subscriptions, in either case with a site license, I would think you might well
be able to expect continuing access to material published during the years you
were a subscriber (consult your license). If, however, these were
"online-free-with-print" subscriptions, without a site license, you
might be out of luck. Often these subscriptions give you online access
only as long as you maintain the print subscription, and as soon as you cancel
the print, your online access disappears.
