Is anyone else having problems with their finance department paying the
annual journal subscription?. The Oxford Radcliffe are refusing to pay
the subscription for 2000, stating that only three months fall into this
financial year and the other nine months must be paid from next years
allocation. This ruling would also include CD-ROMs if they worked out
that they were annual subscriptions also!
Their reasons are that they are not allowed to pay in advance for goods
received in the next fiscal year and that the subscriptions must be paid
monthly as in other agreements.
This clearly has paid havoc with my budgeting and the SWETS agreement
and I am not going to accept these rules without a fight, but would like
to know what is happening elsewhere to back ( or even back down) from
this situation.
Hope to hear from you all soon
Carol
