RE: Wiley-Blackwell 2009 Subscription and Licensing Options

["Gillingham, Emily - Oxford" <emily.gillingham@wiley.com>]

Fred - There is an FAQ about this topic in the Customer Briefing 
document linked to from our Transition site.  It is our position 
that we are selling content, not packaging, and therefore the 
journal price is the same for the print or online format in 2009. 
The online journal isn't actually cheaper to produce than the 
print journal.  Typesetting, editing costs etc are the same 
whether for online or print.  The online delivery of journals 
offers a great deal of additional value (searching, linking, 
alerting, etc) not available in print and that requires a 
publisher to commit to substantial ongoing investment to support 
and improve. In addition, an online subscription includes access 
to 12 years of content in many cases, i.e. back to 1997, and 
includes perpetual access rights.

Can Emily Gillingham please answer one simple question: why is
the cost of online only in the per-title option the same as print
only? The estimates have never been exact but we have always been
told that producing the print copy adds an extra cost for the
publisher - hence presumably the justification for charging 110%
for online plus print - so logically the cost of online only
should be less than the cost of print only.
