My guess is the fault here lies more with OUP than with ACH and ALLC; they are likely the ones who set the terms of distribution for their journals.

Setting aside the issue of fairness, I just don’t see how this can be a tenable model. Hmm…it looks like they only charge for access to the four most recent issues.

I guess the thinking is that if you want the current scholarship, you might as well pay the $105 to join either Association for Literary & Linguistic Computing or the Association for Computers and the Humanities. Makes one not want to join, however... $23 for a day’s access? Setting aside the issue of fairness, I just don’t see how this can be a tenable model.
