--please excuse cross-posting--

 

Northeastern University is undertaking a project to reduce University expenditures on departmental subscriptions in instances where the University Library subscribes to a comparable university-wide subscription.  We are identifying Library subscriptions that offer a reading experience comparable to print and are seeking to identify where other University departments have print or individual electronic subscriptions, with an eye to reducing overall University expenditure on these individual subscriptions and better promotion of existing University subscriptions. 

 

We were wondering if anyone else has done this and if you would be willing to share your experience and perhaps share any documentation or policies that may have evolved from these projects. 

 

Please feel free to reach out either through the list or directly to me.  I’d be happy to share a general overview back to the list if other sites are interested after the fact! 

 

Thanks in advance for any information you can share.
