Hi Karin,
Yes - until your email I didn't realise that our rights to this former subscribed title of ours (until in ceased publication) had all been removed. The last time I checked everything was fine with our access, but I didn't make a note of when that was.
I did question what was going to happen to this "orphan" title with Ingenta in March 2007 when former Hodder titles were removed from ingenta and they said that in the interim they would continue to host the backfiles. I also queried this with SAGE and was told that I needed to contact the former publisher. As the person who used to deal with these journals at Hodder was no longer working there I didn't make any further progress. I was going to raise it with this last back then, but other workload issues meant I never did, so thank you for raising this.
I would agree that Portico and LOCKSS should archive this content so that it remains accessible to former subscribers.
One wonders how many other "orphaned" journals are out there when publishers take over other publisher's journals?
It would be good if whatever is decided with this particular title could be reported back to this list.
Cheers
Lesley

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] Pain reviews ISSN 0968-1302
Hi,
Once upon a time there was a journal called Pain reviews published by Hodder Arnold Journals. It ceased publication in 2002 but has been available on Ingenta (www.ingentaconnect.com/content/arn/pr) since then. In October 2008 we discovered we no longer could access the fulltext. We started to contact our agent Ebsco who told us that the journal is withdrawn from Ingenta and it is not available from anywhere else. The journal still appears on Ingenta but there is no fulltext.
I then contacted Hodders and was told that they sold their journals to Sage in 2006. I subsequently contacted Sage who told me they only bought the "live" journals so Pain reviews was not part of that transaction. Back to Hodders who tells me they have no idea who to contact about the journal.
Did anyone else experience the same problems with Pain reviews? Are we the only ones in the world interested in this journal online? Does LOCKSS or CLOCKSS have any copies of the fulltext?
Kind regards
Karin
