Hi Michael
we are also affected by this and according to my calculations it will
cost more than double (115%) to keep our print journals with e top-ups. 
 
I am outraged but don't know what to do about it. Do you have e top-ups
or e-only? There appears to be a large price increase for both. Plus VAT
will be increasing.
 
Kind regards

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.
