Re: Renewals Colleen 01 May 2015 11:09 UTC

Again - my mistake. Harrassowitz wants them by September 1, not July 1!

> I think Colleen is saying Harrassowitz wants their cancellation decisions by July, not the entire renewal – but then, I suppose it’s rather like splitting hairs, as cancellations are the non-renewals portion of the renewal list.  In any case, Harrassowitz usually wants to have our renewals by Sept 1st (although if we can do them earlier, that’s always welcome), as they want to pay publishers / providers in sufficient time prior to the upcoming calendar year expires / renewals as well as the non-calendar year renewals.  Harrassowitz doesn’t just say they would like to pay the publishers on time, they really DO pay the publishers on time – and when those payments to publishers / providers are made in a timely manner, that cuts down significantly on renewal-related problems (delayed receipts, loss of access, etc) on our end.  Vendors appreciate our building in sufficient lead time as much as we appreciate them doing the same for us.  Negotiating these things with your subscription agents / vendors is a two-way street, and I’ve found that most major vendors will work with us to define such service expectations or parameters, as they realize different libraries can have different fiscal year periods and different budget cycles, as well as very particular local needs. Treat all these things as negotiations and create mutually-acceptable service arrangements that meet your needs and that won’t tie either you or your vendor(s) in knots.  Define your service arrangements sufficient to your needs and expectations, but build in enough flexibility so that you have maneuvering space should some unforeseen budgetary crisis or other situation occur in the late summer / fall just as you are trying to ‘finalize’ your cancellations / renewals with your vendor(s).   – Gaele Gillespie

But C&EN is on a different platform from the other ACS titles, and they don't do COUNTER-compliant usage reports, so I had to ask them specifically for usage and put that in a COUNTER-compliant template to upload for usage stats analysis.

All access that Metapress has in our database is being transferred to the new host for each publisher, along with information about the institution including IPs and administrators. Redirects from the existing Metapress site to the new location are being implemented, so that as soon as a publisher transitions to their new host, any links coming into their Metapress platform will automatically redirect to the new location. The administrator listed on the account should be notified by the new host in order to activate their own account on the new platform as we are not transferring any password information.  However, the library patrons will hopefully be unaffected as they will be redirected to the new host and recognized via IP and allowed access.

You could check against their 2015 title list under their acquired titles tab in the spreadsheet.  Also Aztlan is now in IngentaConnect.  Also 3 other UCLA published journals are on the Allen Press platform - Amerasia Journal, American Indian Culture and Research, and AAPI Nexis (http://uclajournals.org/<https://t.e2ma.net/click/tit5h/9ywfyf/9aul2c>).
