Can I add university of Ulster to the list? We have indicated our intention
to take up the deal but we need to agree our subscription list and hence the
final price. This is a matter of great concern and it is not the first
time. I am tempted to wonder whether this brinkmanship is a deliberate ploy
on the part of Elsevier to try to bounce us into quick decisions or to
accept inflated lists (I did find one title on ours that had been cancelled
in the early nineties).
