In the context of digital archives, "Trigger Event" means :
(i) When the publisher no longer offers back issues
(ii) When a library stops subscription to the e-contents
(iii) When a publisher ceases to publish a title
(iv) When the library deny to pay for the e-contents stored in archives
Answer: C
The trigger events are when the publisher no longer offers back issues and when a publisher ceases to publish a title, so the answer is (i) and (iii) are correct.
Dark archives such as CLOCKSS and Portico hold content that stays closed until a trigger event makes it unavailable from the publisher. Recognised triggers include a publisher ceasing operations, ceasing to publish a title, no longer offering back issues, and a catastrophic, sustained failure of the publisher's platform.
A library stopping its subscription, or refusing to pay, is a matter of that library's own access rights, governed by its licence. It does not trigger release of the archive to everyone, so the options with (ii) or (iv) are wrong.
