Dear all,

It appears there is more to it than I thought! Ovid now say that the retain print costs I have been quoted are as follows

The costs below are for the electronic access only and the only additional cost is VAT.The cost of the print subscription is extra to the electronic access and would need to be budgeted for.

So not necessarily cheaper by the time you have added the cost of a print and online sub through a subscription agent.

sorry if I got everyone's hopes up as high as mine!

Sarah
