[Mla-cds] Query: Current Opinion in Investigational Drugs

[Sharon Cardwell]

We recently contacted the publisher of these journals, Thomson Reuters, who indicates that CDs are available for archival access.  Per their rep, "The four Current Opinion journals will indeed cease publication. I talked with our publisher relations group and the archives of these 4 journals will be available on CD if you have an interest."

Hi,

It would seem to me that arrangements like Portico should be kicking into place...

"With the inclusion of all articles from BioMed Central's 205 online journals..."

In December 2010 we heard from BioMed Central that Thomson Reuters had decided to cease publication of this title plus three others (Current Opinion in Drug Discovery & Development, Current Opinion in Molecular Therapeutics, and Idrugs:  The Investigational Drugs Journal) effective immediately.  In addition, the archives for these titles, which had previously been available on Biomed Central, would no longer reside there.  At that time, Thomson Reuters refused to indicate where, if anywhere, these would be available.

One month later and Thomson Reuters still will not tell us where (or when) the archives will appear.

We are at a loss as to what to do next.

If your library had subscriptions to any of these titles, what are you doing with regards to the loss of archival access?  Have you heard differently regarding when (or if) archival access will be available?

Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can provide.
