I hadn't heard about this either, so asked our journal subscription agent if it applied to us too, with our two Elsevier/Science Direct subscriptions. The answer was yes...

Does anyone know if it applies to all libraries or is it, perhaps, just those with numerous subscriptions - I only take one Elsevier journal here so am wondering if this will apply to me.

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 Lyn Edmonds Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust 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.
