“…How much time should staff spend on resolving discrepancies?" 15 Calvert's library also generated three outcomes, which we found to be similar to our overall goals: "to ensure perpetual access is set up properly when a journal is cancelled; to assist staff when troubleshooting access problems; and to verify ongoing access to the title." 16 …”

“…Calvert describes a cancellation project and the extensive, time-consuming steps taken to obtain promised perpetual access, while admitting that sometimes they did not always succeed. 42 This uncertainty about future access to journal and other content led to the formation of a Keepers Registry in which several major archiving organizations contribute metadata about the journals they archive. Like the inventories conducted by Calvert and Beh and Smith, the pilot project revealed many inconsistencies in how content is preserved, especially at the issue level.…”

“…Bascones (2012) argues that lack of standardized data undermines a publisher's ability to provide data to libraries for perpetual access verification. Calvert (2013) discourages the use of isolated spreadsheets to maintain perpetual access information (Calvert, 2013, p. 72). At QCL, such lists are essential but not isolated, as the initial goal of the KBART working group was to improve data communication for link resolvers.…”

Optimizing KBART guidelines to restore perpetual access

Purpose -This case study aims to demonstrate how proactive use of KBART guidelines can assist librarians in the analysis and restoration of journal titles with post-cancellation perpetual access. Design/methodology/approach -After experiencing a 25-per cent decrease in the collection budget, the Queens College Libraries (QCL) faced losing electronic journal content with cancellations to Big Deal licensing agreements. By using tools such as Serials Solutions, Ex Libris SFX and Microsoft Excel, the library was able to optimize KBART guidelines to analyze and restore journal titles under perpetual access licensing clauses. The implemented workflow mirrored the process to create "Big Deal" renewal spreadsheets at Springer Science ϩ Business Media. Findings -By using KBART guidelines to manipulate and analyze data, the library was efficiently able to identify journal titles for perpetual access. Because the resulting data were formatted within KBART guidelines, it could then be transferred to a knowledge base for enhanced content discovery. Practical implications -While there are numerous variations on perpetual access rights across hundreds of vendors, the workflow developed at QCL can be replicated, or altered on a case-by-case basis. By highlighting the work necessary to implement perpetual access clauses, this article makes a case for both standardizing licensing clauses as well as increased vendor adoption of KBART guidelines. Originality/value -This case study examines the workflow of an Electronic Resources librarian with vendor experience, the overlap of concerns between librarians and vendors, and the ways in which to analyze journal holdings without an automated system.
