Hi, Dusty.
Yes, Judith’s comment is what I understand to be true as well. However, I have reiterated to T&F and do so again, especially to current individually subscribing customers here, the consideration of value in the flexibility of the (former 1997-pres, individual title) subscription model, which is at stake here. Budget uncertainties warrant a cautious approach to packages or set spend commitments. T&F is among only a few major publishers not currently limited to a big deal model, and who also who has partnered in the SERU licensing initiative. We highly value both these elements in our relationship with T&F and it is both these, as well as the principles and value of the access model, which I personally want to make certain don’t get overlooked.
I know that GWLA, my library consortia, is meeting this week to discuss this, and I encourage others to do the same with their consortia or institutions, and take the opportunity to educate publishers.

I think they are negotiating different things with different customers. We were offered coverage back to 1997 for one journal becausè we had a print subscription for many years including the years we would be losing.

Sorry to start a new thread on this. I heard a rumor that a representative for T&F confirmed that they will now allow subscribers to individual titles to retain access back to 1997 for those titles – provided they retain their level of spend over several years. Has anyone else heard anything like this?
