I would be interested in the experience of libraries with Standard & Poor's
NetAdvantage.
Were you able to negotiate a reasonable price? Did it increase
significantly at the end of the first year?
What other issues were relevant in your licensing of this product?
Did you cancel the corresponding print products?
Did you find the database effective in substituting for the print products?

We've subscribed for several years and have cancelled most of the print
titles. Prices have stayed reasonable (relatively speaking). We also get
a good discount on print that we are keeping. There are different
packages, so you have to look carefully through the welter of S&P
products.
Our rep is John Quealy, and he is very helpful, always.

Mark,
We are in our second year with S&P's NetAdvantage. We pay about $4,700 per
year, and we do not think it will change much this second year. We haven't
dropped any corresponding print titles yet, but may this year.
