Dear all, I thought you would be interested in the following message from AGU on institutional access to its e-journals, given the problems libraries have been having with the pricing policy. As you see, it was only announced last Wednesday, and as far as I can see, has not been circulated on library/HE lists. Louise =========================================================================== ============ >Date: 11 Jun 2003 >Subject: new AGU subscription options announced > >Greatly expanding the number of institutions that have full >electronic access was identified as a top priority by both the >Council PRC and the PubsCom. A strategy for building >subscriptions is the introduction of "per-user rates." Today, we >began notifying libraries about this new option and about the >opportunity for qualifying institutions to add titles for a very >modest annual access fee. > >Institutions with active licenses of any kind were sent an email >message telling them about these options. > >You can find the information about the options at >http://www.agu.org/pubs/Institution_options_2003.html > >Judy >-- >Judy C.
