CAUTION: EXTERNAL EMAIL

What Tim said - I wouldn't expect the resignation of the editorial board to have any impact on availability of the back issues.
I know our licensing folks always aim for perpetual access, and I think they usually get it. I went to the redacted licenses page<https://cdlib.org/services/collections/licensed/resources/redacted-license-agreements/#E> to check the Elsevier one, but there are more Elsevier agreements and amendments than I can sort through.
Maybe Mat or Mark could verify for us?

Thanks, Allegra. Do you know, is there some indication that Elsevier is going to remove the title from its offering because of the mass exit of the editorial board? Regardless, we could look to the license agreement to see the terms/protocols for this to see what the options are regarding longer term access and preservation.

In email from a faculty, they asked if the library could ensure perpetual access to the back catalog of Design Studies a premier journal in the field The journal is looking for a new home because of mismanagement by Elsevier,.

The entire editorial board has resigned, the Design Research Society, which founded and sponsors the journal, has severed ties, and it looks like many authors are withdrawing papers in the pipeline.

it will be vital for us to retain access to previous issues, as it really has been the leading design research journal for more than 40 years and contains so much of the field's foundational work in its archives.
