WTF – Google ändert Book-ID, Löwener Universitätsverlag hat seinen Open Access auf Sand gebaut | Archivalia

Summary:
From Google Translate: "In 2014, I reported that the volumes Humanistica Lovaniensia were provided free of charge by Leuven University Press via Google Books before 2000:

While I had too often noticed that the page coding was changed and the cut-out function is unreliable, so far I had no reason, at the Wikisource quoted 'statement of a Google Booksearch employee at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2006 that the ID core of the database structure Is and will not be changed'. Although books have disappeared (that is, no longer found under their ID), ID changes have not been known to me yet.

Led to an essay by Klaus Arnold in vol. 42, which is displayed on the publisher page with 'Download free'.

But this link (and the above) leads today to Vol. 43 (not 42), which is only present with its metadata (but it is a full view under the other editions linked). Arnold's essay can not be found in the full-text search of Google Books.
The fact that the link on the publisher page leads to a metadata view from which you get to a full view by link is also the case at Bd. 34 A. But after I have checked all the time as free-listed volumes on the list of the LUP , It can be seen that only Bd. 42 has disappeared - bad enough for those who need it.
Is it consistent with the offer of the Humanistica Lovaniensia in JSTOR that the LUP has not come up with the idea of releasing the volumes in HathiTrust?

Disappearance of open access resources:

In any case, changing the Book ID is disturbing. Does anyone have other examples?"
