ALA ALCTS Program in Chicago: Are you faced with cancellation of
Ejournal packages?
From: cooke_at_ecu.edu
Come hear tips on how to cope in the new age of cancellation –
this is not your mother’s journal subscription cancellation
project! How do you negotiate when you are locked into a
multi-year license agreement? What happens to Consortium deals,
big and small, when your state budget is cut to nothing? Are
you ready to declare financial exigency?
Check out the following program:
Swingin' With the Pendulum: Facing Cancellations in the Age of
E-Journal Packages
E-Journals are now commonly purchased in packages, often with
pricing tied to historical print subscriptions. As these packages
mature, historical pricing is often lost as publishers insist on
1-line invoices. What happens when the economy slows and budgets
shrink? How do we handle cancellations and e-journal packages in
this changed environment, with these evolving models of payment?
