From: "Gonzales, Rhonda L" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2013 09:15:29 -0600 However, I've often seen (and it exists in our Nature license) a secondary option if the library doesn't want to pay the access fee of getting the content in some other physical medium (also for a charge with Nature although other licenses we have don't make that specification). I.e. the library could elect to have the publisher burn them a physical copy and send the files for them to make available locally.

Cancellation/access/maintenance fees are similar as far as I can tell and such fees are almost never specified beforehand. It seems that publishers can then charge virtually anything if they couch post-cancellation in such vague terms. If the library is not willing to pay, then access will be cut off going forward to that journal or set of publications. Definitely something to keep an eye on as it's likely an element often overlooked in licenses. Nate
