Hi

We recently received a notice from Elsevier to say that our licence with Science Direct would expire at the end of the year because:

"the tariff methodology for Elsevier Health Sciences titles to NHS institutions has changed" and that we are to be shunted over to another Elsevier product  called  Journals Consult.

I am curious to know whether any other NHS libraries have had this sort of notice and whether the change will  significantly affected the prices of journals they get from Elsevier.
