Thank you, Michael. The library community appreciates your responsiveness, as I'm sure readers of JBS do.
I would like to note, happily, that Cambridge University Press, an endorser of the Transfer Code of Practice , will now begin using the Enhanced Transfer Alerting Service to notify the broader community when they are involved in a title transfer.
We hope that University of Chicago Press will also consider signing on as an endorsing publisher and adhering to the Transfer Code for any future journal transfers in which it is a party. Please contact me if you are interested in learning more about how to do this.
Best,

Subject: Re: [lis-e-resources] Transfers to Cambridge University Press journals from another publisher
Dear All,
It seems that there has been some confusion on the part of our colleagues at Cambridge University Press regarding the handling of access to the Journal of British Studies (JBS). The University of Chicago Press has also received inquiries from concerned librarians about lost access to the journal. We responded to these by directing librarians to Cambridge University Press, as the new publisher. As of January 1, 2013, Chicago is no longer the publisher of this journal and retains no authority to distribute JBS content, current or archival. The best practice in the industry in such cases is for the new publisher to have created a transition plan in advance that takes into account archival and current access for existing subscribers.
Also in accordance with best practices, we at Chicago are always prepared to work with a new publisher to facilitate a transition plan as it is communicated to us. In May 2012, we began sending subscriber files to CUP for the term specified by them (back to January 2010). Upon their new request received this week, we will provide subscriber data back to January 2002, which will enable them to verify post-cancellation access claims. We will have the updated file sent to CUP by early next week.
An institutional subscription to the electronic edition of any Chicago title includes access to the first born-digital issue. For Journal of British Studies, the first digital issue was Vol. 41 #1, January 2002. We are pleased to learn that this policy will now be honored by JBS’s new publisher, and subscribers to the journal will not lose access to content they already purchased.
Thank you.

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to apologise for the confusion that has occurred around access to the Journal of British Studies, which recently transferred from University of Chicago Press to Cambridge.
We considered that the previous publisher would continue to provide access for existing customers, but this has not been possible in this case.
Therefore, going forwards, we would like to reassure customers that all access to their paid-for content will be made available by Cambridge. University of Chicago Press will not be making any on-going access available to the Journal of British Studies.
Access will be made available on the following bases:
1. Subscriber history is being provided to Cambridge by the University of Chicago Press and will be used to establish access rights. However, in the short term, please contact our Customer Service Departments if you require access and we will work with you. ([log in to unmask] for the Americas and [log in to unmask] for the Rest of World.) 2. Access with a current subscription will start from content originally published in 2002. Customers who subscribed in the years following that date will retain perpetual access to content from the years in which they subscribed.
3. For institutions without access rights, perpetual access to content from the Journal of British Studies from before 2010 is available as part of the Cambridge Journals Digital Archive (CJDA).
We hope these measures will help to improve the access situation for this journal. If you have further questions, please get in touch with our Customer Service Departments or your usual Sales contact.
Kind regards
Tristan
