Tony's scenario is very similar to ours at greenwich. Last year
we had several titles included in our quote which were not our
subscriptions and this year was no exception.
We have been quite appalled by their lack of co-operation in
responding to our requests for a new quote.

Yes, yet another one awaiting a final quote.
What has annoyed me this time around is that I have had to sort the list of journals Elsevier sent me as being held in Nottingham; a goodly number of these were not our subs. because the list included local hospitals' titles.
Yet I did the same exercise for Elsevier 2-3 years ago, so why didn't they keep the definitive list I sent them then?
I cheekily asked them, for all the time I spent on the list, whether some recompense could be made - but I think that fell on deaf ears.

We at Royal Holloway are also waiting for a final quote.
We contacted Science Direct a short while ago and are still waiting for a
response.
