Joanna,

You might be interested in the following two recent articles from D-Lib
Magazine. They are from the June and the July/August issues, so they are
pretty current:

Subject: Article based subscription

As I'm not in the US, I seem to have missed the final decision - if one
has been made - regarding the pilot project done with Elsevier to allow
libraries to subscribe to a set number of articles each year instead of
journals at the title level in the electronic milieu of ScienceDirect.  
May I ask that someone send me a catch up statement on the final results
of this project?  Is this now going to be put into action and are
libraries negotiating with Elsevier for quantities of articles?

MTIA
