Dear all,
Over the last couple of days I have seen a number of emails about the Elsevier backfiles collection for Biosciences. I have been studiously ignoring these as I had assumed that as we had signed up for 'the Backfiles collection', that all of the backfiles would be included.
I now understand, that we signed up to the Backfiles collection '2002', and the Biosciences collection is the Backfiles collection '2003' (which apparently completes the backfiles). We are now being asked to pay another five figure sum for this collection.
Given that 21 Institutions have subscribed to the backfiles (amounting to rather a large sum of money), I'd be interested to hear from anyone who was under the same impression, ie. that this was a one-off payment for everything.
Thanks
Simon
