> I'm writing an article on archival/perpetual access to cancelled

>
> - How important is archival access to you when deciding whether or not to 
> subscribe to e-journals?
>
> - Do you require archival access as part of your license agreement for 
> e-journals? If not, did you make a conscious decision not to require it, 
> or has the issue just not come up?
>
> - When subscribing to e-journals, do you also subscribe to the print 
> version so as to have an archive of the title, in case you have to cancel 
> the subscription?
>
> - Do you currently have archival access to e-journals you’ve cancelled? 
> What format is the access ­ e.g. online, CD-ROM, tapes? How’s that working 
> for you?
>
> - If you completely lost access to any e-journals due to cancellation, did 
> your patrons complain about the lack of archival access?
>
> - Are you using LOCKSS? If so, is it hard to get vendors to allow you to 
> use it to archive their content? Have you used it to access cancelled 
> e-journals?
>
> - I haven’t seen much written on this topic recently. Have you seen any 
> articles on archival/perpetual access that you would recommend?
>
> I’d really appreciate it if you could contact me with your comments and 
> input at jwatso21@utmem.edu. I’ll be happy to summarize the results for 
> the list.

> Thanks for your help.
