Re: Nexis
A number of Utah libraries have been working on plans for Lexis/Nexis subscriptions. And we are really quite unclear yet as to exactly what L/N/ plans and exactly when it will happen. Keith Stirling at Brigham Young University's Lee Library has been in regular contact with L/N and he has now been told that BYU's current contract will run until September 1, 1998, at which time the new pricing scheme will kick in. BYU was quite surprised at this; and they have hence verified it with L/N several times, Margaret Landesman Head, Collection Development Marriott Library University of Utah ________________________________________________________ Date: Wed, 12 Mar 1997 18:55:59 -0500 (EST) From: Ann Okerson <aokerson@pantheon.yale.edu> To: liblicense-l@pantheon.yale.edu Subject: Nexis Any librarians out there care to share their strategies in approaching the substantial license fee increase by Nexis starting July 1st? Although the increase is phased in over three years and the first year (80% off the new list price) is not all that hard to take, the increase is about 10-11 fold for institutions who maintain the same mix of general and subsets of Nexis. What are any of you doing to deal with this increase? At the same time, there does seem to be move to a Web interface effective mid-year, which is good news. And the consortial license discounts as proposed, seem very good. Ann Okerson Associate University Librarian Ann.Okerson@yale.edu
