Post Cancellation Access
Post-cancellation access is also known as perpetual access (ongoing access to an electronic resource). Both publishers and libraries have recognized that in some cases, even after a library has terminated a license to an electronic resource, it may be necessary for that library to continue to have ongoing access.
Benefits for Libraries
Portico provides a reliable means to secure post-cancellation access, if participating publishers choose to designate Portico as a provider of post-cancellation access.
Benefits for Publishers
