Re: Oxford Journals Online Pricing Options 2004

I wonder if others who access this list have had the same impression as
me, which is that pricing models seem to be getting more complicated.
There are good reasons for this. I suspect that publishers (like OUP in
this instance) are actually listening to librarians and what they say they
want, but they are getting differing feedback. At one time publishers (in
my experience) tended to be more interested in what competitors were doing
and in the early days of online that tended to mean that every company
came up with more or less the same solution. In practice from a library
viewpoint is the emergence of a range of models a good thing or a bad
thing? Does it enable customers to choose what suits them or does it just
complicate their lives?
