Hi all,
What a timely message! Just today a
colleague handed me a disc with our archive of Journal of Psychotherapy
Practice and Research on it and asked me how we can make this content
available.
My first thought was “we can’t
be the only people with access to this who now have to host it ourselves”…If
there are other JPPR people in the same boat I hope we can work together to
come up with a better solution! I work in a corporate pharma and we don’t
have the IT resources to do anything fancy, but we would like to be able to
access this content via our SFX A-Z list.
Regards,
Todd in Indianapolis

Subject: Summary of replies to
Hosting Perpetual Access Content on Library Server
I
had so many requests for the responses to my query regarding hosting perpetual
access content on a library server that I decided to post to the list (and
please forgive crossposting). I only received three responses from libraries
currently doing this. The first posting contained GIF images that I had to
delete since it caused the listserv to reject the posting, so if you saw this
message on ERIL-L you’ll notice that it is slightly different.
1. We
did activate our CLOCKSS access in SFX:
SFX
just added a LOCKSS target this Feb., so I’m sure that my group will be
looking at that. Looks like there are 2744 portfolios/titles, and I will
need to talk to our LOCKSS go-to person. We are also planning to add
perpetual access options to our homegrown ERMS, perhaps as a dropdown menu
(LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, PORTICO, publisher storage site, PDF, DVD, download to
current device, such as a flashdrive, etc. etc.).
We
also activate access to PORTICO content and are members of that:
We,
too, try to add perpetual access to all of our licenses where possible. So
far, I have a lot of content on DVD or as PDF downloads (all of those GALE,
OUP, SAGE, etc. ebooks!) on one designated computer, but with a new IR (with a
different focus than simply storage) and content saved here and there, I do not
feel like we have a good handle on this by any means, and we have no
established workflow other than getting it into the licenses. Our users
really have no access to this content.
2. Our library has not done this, at
least we have not served up content. There was the recent case of Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research
(JPPR) from APPI, which the publisher did not transfer to a new platform, but
the publisher did allow subscribers to download the full content. UCSF
downloaded the content but had not come up with a hosting solution yet, then
APPI announced that they are working with NLM to get the content on PubMed
Central, so we won’t need to do anything on our end. A librarian at
Then there is Current Opinion in
Drug Discovery & Development, which ceased and the publisher (now
Thomson) no longer hosts it. They have told us we need to request a
CD-ROM and fill out an agreement, which seems overly burdensome and I have not
had time to do this. When I finally get around to doing this (though
I’d love it if a PMC solution sprouts up instead! Perhaps I’ll ask
Thomson to do this.), we’d probably host the content on a web page on our
library site, and make it IP-authenticated for our institution only, and link
to that site from the catalog and SFX.
So this is my long answer to say, we
haven’t done this at UCSF, and we are not a LOCKSS or CLOCKSS subscriber,
but I am interested to see the results of how libraries handle these
situations.
3. As
part of OCUL ( http://www.ocul.on.ca/ )
we can upload content to "our" servers at Scholars Portal ( http://spotdocs.scholarsportal.info/display/sp/home )
resulting in a large collection of books ( http://library.wlu.ca/resource/SP_ebooks )
and journals ( http://library.wlu.ca/resource/SP_ejournals ).
This
has nothing directly to do with LOCKSS. To my knowledge, my institution
is not part of LOCKSS.
Thanks
to those who shared their experiences with us.
