Dear all,
I just wanted to draw your attention to a ridiculous position we have
found ourselves in as it may help others save money this year.
We have 12 electronic journals from Wolters Kluwer (OVID)
our renewal cost for this year was £8474
If I retain a print copy which I do not require 8 journals were cheaper,
2 were the same price and 1 was more expensive
my total renewal would be £6433
This is a saving of £2041
It seems nonsensical to me that all these paper copies are being
produced and sent when not required.
I hope this helps others with their journal renewals this year
Sarah
