Dear Lesley, Peter et al,
With regard to the removal of Contemporary Economic Policy and Economic Enquiry from the OUP Journal Archive.
On behalf of JISC Collections I would like to apologise for not only the inconvenience this matter is causing but also the lack of prior communication.
JISC Collections has been pursuing this matter with OUP since it was first brought to our attention on Friday evening.
As soon as is possible we will provide a full update to this list.
Regards,
Liam Earney
Collections Team Manager

Subject: Re: Now You See It Now You Don't - Where Have the Backfiles and Archives of Contemporary Economic Policy and Economic Inquiry Gone?
Dear Lesley
Thanks for telling us about this. It looks like bad news for anybody
moving towards a general policy of disposing of printed back issues where
online versions are available. I trust that JISC, OUP and Blackwell will
respond speedily.
Best wishes
Peter King
