![]() PCA allows for the perpetual, continued ownership of explicitly defined electronic content. The authors share their experience with determining PCA at the University of Minnesota and outline recommendations for other PCA projects. Along the way, a post-cancellation access determination (PCAD) project uncovered various challenges unique to serial publications. An automated overlap analysis script compared print and electronic serial holdings to reduce the number of titles to review. Investigating PCA rights for e-journals was a long and arduous task, dependent on the presence (or absence) of accurate records. The Minnesota Libraries has negotiated for PCA rights for nearly two decades and knows, for the most part, which publishers provided PCA yet the specific PCA entitlements for each title were not known. In 2018, the University of Minnesota Libraries ( Minnesota Libraries) began a project to assess its e-journal PCA rights. Ideally, the initial point of acquisition is the time to record PCA rights. Post-cancellation access (PCA) allows for the continued ownership and access of an institution’s electronic purchases or subscriptions.
