We started a subscription last year to Science direct, but seem to have
found an unusual problem since then. When journals change their title, we
continue to have access to the archives for that title, but not the new
content under the new title, presumably as this title wasn't listed as part
of our subscribed content on the day that we signed the contract. e.g. we
have access to The journal of logic programming, but not The journal of
logic and algebraic programming (its new name).
Has any one else experienced this problem? Has anyone managed to then
arrange access (at no extra cost) to the "new" title? Is it actually
legal? If it is, would there anything to stop a publisher changing all
their titles and making us pay again to resume access? I would be
interested to know what other people think.
Thanks,
Debra
