EMBASE Update
-------------
In CHEST Messenger of 6th July CHEST announced that an offer had been
recieved from Ovid for the continued licensing of EMBASE for a further
year at no increase in cost. Subsequent to that the following message
has been received from Ovid and CHEST published the message on Tuesday
17th July:
"Following our announcement to extend the current Embase agreement for a
further twelve months (to 31/08/02) it has come to our notice that a
revised product content is about to be offered by Elsevier and therefore
the licensing charge will be changed as well. Ovid and Elsevier are now
working on a revised offer that will be announced in the coming days.
As a consequence of this Ovid is not in a position to offer the already
announced conditions in the CHEST "Messenger" dated 6th july 2001. The
offer is suspended. Ovid and Elsevier assure that the delay will be
minimal and will make a formal announcement at very short notice."
The paperwork which has already been sent to CHEST will be held pending
further announcements.
