Electronic Collections Online
Electronic Collections Online e-journals are now accessible to past subscribers through a service archive. Past subscribers may continue to provide access to the content from their previous e-journal subscriptions by maintaining an access account to the archive This change supports OCLC's strategy, announced in March 2010, to stop hosting and reselling licensed content in order to focus its efforts on providing vendor-neutral discovery services from which libraries can delivery content in their collections to their users. When a library maintains access to the Electronic Collections Online archive, its authenticated users may continue to search the Electronic Collections Online bibliographic database on FirstSearch, WorldCat.org, WorldCat Local, WorldCat Local "quick start" and WorldShare Management Services and link to the full-text articles they identify through their searches. Articles from past subscribers' e-journal subscriptions will continue to be available to authenticated users as a source of full-text within those services. As we move forward with the development of cloud-based service, OCLC staff will continue their work on behalf of its members to provide access to as much quality content as possible through these services.
