Dear All Readers may be interested to know that Elsevier's subject collections and the Freedom Collection are already tracked in SFX's KnowledgeBase. SFX also contains tools that enable holdings records for titles in collections to be updated globally, rather than on a title-by-title basis. Robert Robert Bley.

Of small comfort I know.... On another note, I contacted SS and informed them that for 2006 the LSE would be taking advantage of Elsevier's subject collections, rather than subscribing to the Freedom Collection. Of course I wanted to know when these newly available subject databases would be available in the SS client centre for us to select to reflect our 2006 subscriptions. So far the response from SS is that we will have to select each individual title as they currently do not track these subject databases. Obviously I've gone back to SS about this but wondered if any institutions are in a similar situation?

The penny dropped when Blackwell asked me if I was paying through Content Complete or Swets. I didn't think I had a choice. I cannot see any advantage to the publisher in this payment model since they end up with the same amount of money in the end. The disadvantage is entirely ours and I would urge Nesli2 to re-consider this model before next year. ========================== Helen Ward Collections Manager Library Services Kingston University Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames Surrey KT1 2EE Tel. +44 (0)20 8547 8612 Fax. +44 (0)20 8547 7111 Email [log in to unmask] =============================== -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by the UK Serials Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of HAYES CHRISTINE A J Sent: 19 January 2006 12:19 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: ordering NESLI2 deals via Content Complete - loss of access via SwetsWise This almost happened to us until I was advised by my contact at SwetsWise about ordering through Content Complete. Not wanting to have to go through a similar scenario which Sandra describes and also pay £1 per title to have our journals hosted on SwetsWise (£748 I believe ) we decided to stick with Swets and forgo the discount. Both the discount and charges from Swets worked out around the same cost to us in any case so we were stymied. I would like to point out that this information is available for us to read within the offer to NESLI2 (yes, I missed this initially) but there is just so much to take in sometimes its hardly surprising we get confused.

We ordered and paid for the Blackwell NESLI2 deal via Content Complete but we now realise that we will not get online access to the 2006 onwards years via our usual agent site Swetswise, unless we pay them £1 per title which would negate all the discount. This of course causes us another nightmare to edit our ejournals database/webpages and then try to explain to our customers the reasoning! It was not a consequent complication that came to mind during all the urgent complex cancellation/substitution deliberations and ordering. Did anyone else fall foul of this situation?
