Same situation here on the Highwire platform. Access lost to 2002.

Hi Louise,
You said back on the 10th of January that you still had access to the 2002
issues of your INFORMS subscriptions - a moving wall subscription comprising
current plus 4 years. You had thought that you would lose access to 2002
issues once the 2007 issues had appeared.
We have just found that we no longer have access to 2002 issues of our 3
INFORMS titles. This is even though there are still no 2007 issues on their
site for any of our 3 subscriptions!
Am I right in presuming that all those on this list with subscriptions to
INFORMS titles have also now lost access to the 2002 issues? On a separate
note who does have access to the pre-2003 content on Highwire?
Cheers
Lesley

Subject: Publisher policies and rolling archives
Hi all,
You may remember some publishers introducing rolling archives on their
e-journals, then abandoning the policy when it proved to be unpopular.
Another publisher has told us about its rolling archive policy.
INFORMS, on its recent move to Highwire, has now blocked access to 2001
issues and informed us 'they always had a 4 year archive policy, but
were unable to enforce it'.
Did anyone know about it?
My worry now is that the move to Highwire will mean subscribers lose two
years worth of archives as soon as the first 2007 issues appear on site
- 2002 articles are currently available. It might make sense to INFORMS
- but since they never let their subscribers know about the policy they
may find some complaints as the regular customers at various
institutions wonder where the 2001/2 content has gone.
The rolling archive is difficult to maintain and difficult to explain to
our customers.
INFORMS tell me they are putting together an archive product to sell to
the market ... Is this a trend we are going to start seeing from
publishers? I for one think this is a step backwards in e-access
provision.
