Thanks to everyone for their responses.

With the information provided, I did find a notice from Allen Press,
sent on Apr. 29. It was in regard to one of 4 titles/publishers with
different domains. They seem to be behind on our 2015 renewals. I wonder
if the Pinnacle site will provide accurate usage
http://pinnacle.allenpress.com/action/institutionUsageReport
The ID/pw I created for American Indian Culture and Research Journal
works on pinnacle.

The only information on Liverpool I received was a posting to LIBLICENSE
that they were going live Apr. 16. "Forgot my password" has given me
access to the Administrative account.

ALA titles seem to have moved to journals.ala.org using Open Journal
Systems. No official notices received. Has anyone ever been able to get
usage data for titles provided through OJS?

Demokratizatsiya seems to be in limbo.

Brepols is still on Metapress.

As other have observed Sharpe was sold to Taylor & Francis/Routledge and
Baywood to Sage.

We use Serials Solutions for Open URL. They do not have the new URLs in
their system yet, so I have no idea how Open URL will work.

A rep at Liverpool University Press talked with Atypon and then "changed the option to allow display of institutional logos to ‘true’".  It sounds like publishers don't know about this setting.  We uploaded our logo in the admin module, but the publisher has to enable it as well.

The same login will apply to all, and when you log in to one journal admin you can see all the rest in a dropdown list.  However, to get accurate usage stats, you must to log in from each journal’s homepage and choose their account from the list.  If you log into one account and use the dropdown list to collect stats for all your accounts, the stats will be very inaccurate (down to single digits).
