Hi Andy,

Don't worry about your email...we've ALL been there as far as stray

emails and questions about vendor costs, so doubt if any of your peers

will be passing judgment - and your follow-up email was a good laugh as

was Helga's!

 

Which brings me to EBSCO, because I too am considering (and I would

like this email to be confidential) getting rid of our current Gale

Cengage ejournals database and replacing them with EBSCO. The reason:

EBSCO bought OCLC's Netlibrary ebooks last year and we have been

purchasing ebooks for our small collection solely from Netlibrary since

2005. Now that they are EBSCOs ebooks, we have the opportunity to mix

our ebook collection with a new ejournal collection from EBSCO. An

aggregated search across ebooks AND ejournals is just what our members

need. They are always confused by the Gale ejournals database being

separate from our online library catalogue.

 

I am curious about costs and noticed £1000 mentioned by someone

purchasing 40 ejournals. That sounds pretty good to me...I currently pay

a LOT more for 60 ejournals from Gale. Can we talk about pricing at all

and the EBSCO product? As a solo librarian I can hardly ever get input

from colleagues on this delicate matter!

 

If you send me an email, I will call you at the number provided. Hope

to hear from you soon.

 

Regards,

Janine

As you may be aware, my reply to Helga (although I said Olga - mixing

her name up with one of our regular nursing staff users!) was assumed to

be direct to Helga and not to the list. Not that I can recall my

personal comments from the list- but please ignore them...



Apologies to anyone who feels my comments unfair - but they were to be

taken in context of catching up with a fellow colleague and as I say not

assumed to be shared on the list.



Mind you I didn't swear and I don't think I let the cat out the bag by

asking colleagues for pricing - you suppliers must be aware that we will

talk to each other about all aspects of the resources we get. We seldom

have the full picture when negotiating to suppliers so any information

we can garner is useful to us.



Helga has forgiven me for calling her Olga ... I think...



Regards



Andy Richardson
