Negotiations 2009
Wiley - Blackwell
• Currently separate agreements for Wiley (consortium titles) and Blackwell (full collection)– 15 Wiley and 18 Blackwell subscribers, 9 org. subscribing both
• Proposed a single license agreement for all current Wiley-Blackwell electronic journals – In practice completely new deal compared to current
collections subscribed by libraries– What will happen to usage terms?
• A lot of discrepancies in title lists, no proper offer yet

Negotiations 2009
ProQuest (incl. CSA) and Nature
• ProQuest incl. CSA– Future of current CSA content is still unclear
• CCSC package prices and individual databases/ subject collections at substantially higher price
• Nature– Agreement negotiated in co-operation with other
Nordic countries (since the first term 2002)– Nature’s offer has more moderate price increases
than in the past but we hope to still improve

Negotiations 2009
Taylor & Francis• Under negotiation for years• Pricing:
– Non-existent price cap for SSH package– High e-access fee– Still waiting for 2010 prices
• Unacceptable terms in the agreement– Scientific communication not permited – Affiliated sites should be listed in the agreement– Each organization will have perpetual access only for their
current (2009) subscribed titles– License is governed by UK law– etc…

Negotiations 2009
Some general observations
• Licensing negotiations are behind schedule – Prices confirmed exceptionally late in several cases– Time consuming negotiations on journal packages:
• Checking large number of title lists takes a lot of time• How to handle print cancellations
• Usage terms:– Terms negotiated earlier come up as ’new’
