Hi Edith,
I’ve no experience of dealing with University of California Press myself but we’re currently doing quite a bit of work liaising with other suppliers to sort out our own resource licences, so I’m
interested to see how you get on with this situation. I believe the licence UCP refer to can be found
here, but I can’t find any reference to post-cancellation access within it at all, despite the explicit reference in the FAQ that it would be specified.
Thanks,
Jon

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Loss of access post-cancellation (University of California Press / Highwire)
Happy new year all,
We are a small specialist HEI library so our journal subscriptions are single-title rather than packages. A while ago we cancelled our only two single-title subscriptions to
University of California Press journals. We have now lost access to the ten years of online access to these two journals which we had paid for on the UoC platform.
When we queried this with the publisher we were told ‘as per the policy of our online access
platform HighWire, at least one order to any UCPress title should be running on the account in order to keep it active for online access’. We’ve asked for the documentation showing this but this has not been forthcoming.
The situation is complicated because UoC moved hosting of its current journals to JSTOR and then to HighWire during our period of subscription. We tracked down a
FAQ regarding the latter move (
https://content.ucpress.edu/journals/Highwire_Transition_FAQ.pdf ) – section 8 says post-cancellation access will be available and refers to a draft licence for details; unfortunately the link to this in section 6 is dead and we cannot find any record of
us being sent the licence let alone signing it…
Has anyone else
experienced this?
Best wishes,
Edith
