Nature license

FYI

The Karolinska Institute Library in Stockholm ( the largest medical
library in Sweden and the National Resource Library in medical science,
dental science, and nursing) has considered the proposed license agreement
regarding 'Nature', 'Nature Monthlies' and 'Nature Reviews'.  The Library
can not accept the resulting twelve issue delay for 'Nature' and the
'Nature Monthlies' since such a delay decreases the value of the
electronic version, making it less useful than the print version.  
Although the demand for electronic versions of journals is significant,
subscribing to an inferior version of the journal will not serve the needs
of our researchers and students.
