Re: Perpetual Access
Consider this - if my library subscribes to the Journal of XYZ for ten
years, then we decide to cancel this subscription, does the publisher
require that we return or destroy our ten year accumulation of the
Journal of XYZ? Because we are now dealing with bytes instead of pages,
does that mean libraries relinquish the right to retain data for which
we have paid a usually significant sum?
Parlous times to be negotiating license agreements. I am pleased to
hear that some publishers are accommodating libraries on this issue.
