This article presents the results of a survey of Canadian university libraries that investigated whether libraries have been able to stay abreast of the many changes that affect their access to paid-for e-content. This report emphasizes the publishers' obligations to notify licensees when ownership changes hands and libraries' need to actively pursue licensed content in ownership transfers. The meaning and application of "perpetual access" clauses in e-journal licenses under change-of-ownership situations is also discussed.

“…Questions about long-term access and responsibility in this brave new world arose early and linger today (Beh and Smith, 2012; Duranceau, 1998; Keyhani, 1998; Morris, 2000; Szydlowski, 2010).

Biographical Details:Elizabeth Lightfoot is the electronic resources librarian and serials coordinator at Florida International University. She has a background in serials acquisitions, with primary interest in the management and sustainability of serials and e-resources. Structured Abstract:Purpose -Open access (OA) electronic journals have been identified as potentially at risk of loss without more coordinated preservation efforts. The purpose of this paper is to test the current availability of OA electronic journals indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).Design/methodology/approach -Using publicly available journal metadata downloaded from DOAJ, individual journal URLs were tested for validity and accessibility using a Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications macro.Findings -Initial results showed 69.51% of the URLs tested returned a successful HTTP status code. The remainder of the URLs returned codes that indicated redirection or errors.Originality/Value -Unlike past studies of link decay, this is not limited to cited references or a specific discipline. This study utilizes the full DOAJ metadata to analyze the persistence of OA electronic journals.

“…85 There is some evidence to suggest that some publishers are aware of their preservation responsibilities and are sensitive to libraries concerns. 86 Elsevier Science, for example, declare in their licenses their intention to maintain the digital files of ScienceDirect in perpetuity, and commit themselves to transferring them to another depository if they are unable to do so. 87 A second and more traditional approach would be to adapt the more centralised models that have been used to maintain the existing printed scholarly record.…”
