Background: Perpetual rights and entitlement tracking in Alma DRAFT
This page is about electronic titles transferring from one platform/publisher to another, not changes in bibliographic titles.
Resources:
NISO transfer alerts: https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/transfer/tas
Ulrichs: http://ulrichsweb.serialssolutions.com/
Keepers: https://keepers.issn.org/
CDL data available to support campuses perpetual rights tracking for Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 acquisitions.
Redacted licenses: https://cdlib.org/services/collections/licensed/resources/redacted-license-agreements/
Transferred titles: https://cdlib.org/services/collections/licensed/resources/transferred-journals-titles/
There are cases, where resources have not been kept up to date, perhaps as a result of a change in legacy practices following the July 2021 UC Library Network migration.
License categories for post-cancellation access (PCA)
University of Minnesota-Minneapolis executed a retrospective analysis of all licenses and found most agreements could be grouped into the following categories for post-cancellation access (PCA):
third-party preservation entities (e.g., Portico)
delivered (e.g., jump drive)
vendor hosted and some with fees
rolling PCA allowed access to the most recent five years of content, so with every year of subscription more and more content would become inaccessible.
