From: Dominic Benson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 13:38:31 +0000 Good point, Xiaotian Chen. I am currently chasing up whether access to the sister title, Perceptual and Motor Skills (and its former titles) will be granted following its transfer from Ammons Scientific to SAGE this year. At this stage it looks like SAGE was simply unaware of Ammons’ policy to bundle in “free” access to the back file as part of the subscription. It was a similar story with British Journal of Occupational Therapy. We just grin and bear it as we make steeper and steeper cuts.

This journal is not part of a package deal. My library has 2 Sage packages (One Premier package and one back file package), but this journal is not on the package, but rather, is through individual title subscription. Years ago I set up in our OpenURL link resolver that our access is from 1955 (vol 1, no 1) to present. But today, a user reported that a request for a 1976 article was denied. I had a look and realized that our access now starts from 1999. That's loss of 44 years of archive. Should there be a movement to stop publishers from doing this? --- Xiaotian Chen Electronic Services Librarian / Associate Professor Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois, USA. 1-309-677-2839 http://hilltop.bradley.edu/~chen/
