Dear all
I am writing as Chair of the JISC Journals Working Group. I have
seen the various e-mails on this subject.
I was not comfortable with the information coming from Elsevier
during negotaitions which we used in modelling the possible results
of various proposals made by Elsevier. Content Complete Ltd, the
Negotiation Agent, was similalry aware of this. It was for that
reason that I alerted NESLi2 reps that it would be necessary to
check the figures and lists provided by Elsevier.
I have made my concern known informally during a meeting which I
had with Ian Brune and Robert Gorter last week, and we shall be
Content Complete Ltd, who have seen the messages, have also
received further feed-back during the meetings they have been
holding round the country in the past week or two. They have made
some proposals to Elsevier for ways in which this might be
addressed, and are awaiting their response. CCL will informa the
community of any result they get from this attempt to help us all.
