Re: Perpetual Access
I thought this group may be interested in hearing from a publisher directly. Unlike most A&I publishers in the industry, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts has taken a rather unique approach in addressing the perpetual access issue. CSA grants perpetual strorage rights to our Internet Database Service subscribers for our proprietary data (we have a number of non-proprietary files available on the service as well) at no additional fee. As a subscriber to CSA databases via the Internet, our clients are entitled to retain the information that corresponds to the number of years the customer was a paid subscriber. Should a subscriber decide to terminate the service at any point in time, CSA would provide the institution with the information corresponding to each of the years to which the instiution subscribed. We offer this service as a means of enabling libraries to maintain archival continuity within the groups collection in this electronic age.
